Usually putting corruption behind bars isn't described as "taking a big hit".
- Applejinx 10y agoI think the implication may be along the lines of 'the huge corporation will intentionally burn the world itself by way of taking the world hostage'. Due to the wildly overleveraged nature of capital it's not an idle threat: these entities may be in a position to go 'well then, if we suffer the slightest penalty we will trigger global/countrywide economic disaster' with some credibility. The overall economic system is anything but healthy, so the threat is legitimate. However, there comes a time people don't even care anymore, they just want to see something resembling justice. That point seemingly approaches.
