- cimmanom 8y agoThe trouble here presumably is that the penalties are anything less than jailing of the entire C-suite and/or complete dissolution of the corporation.
- matt4077 8y agoAnd while we're at it: death penalty for any crime (or misdemeanor). Including the criminal's family! That should stop these murderers and jaywalkers once and for all!
- turndown 8y agoWhile we all appreciate your strawman, I would encourage you to actually think about situations where the law actually does implement punishments that are beyond what would be considered proportionate, and when it does the opposite.
