The idea is that assigning a tangible cost to fucking up will cause people to try hard to avoid it.
For example, if everyone in the BP executive chain were personally responsible, and would go to jail/get beaten up/etc. as a consequence of an oil spill, then this might not have happened.
- angrycoder 16y agoNo, it won't. The execs will make their money, spend it or squirrel it away, and be gone when the damage is done. Even if you did something as extreme as threaten jail time, the chance to make millions still outweighs the chance of any punishment. Thats all it is at that point, its gambling. Either you make a ton of money, or you loose. The only problem is, when you loose, you make a whole shitload of other people and the environment loose in the process.
