Wait...
What?
Mandatory jail terms for discrimination?
I think these companies should be held to account, no question there. But putting people in prison if they discriminate against older people, or blacks, or women, or what have you, that's kind of a lot don't you think?
I mean, how many people would we be putting in prison if we started jailing people for discrimination? There is a LOT of discrimination out there.
We should be hitting these companies where they feel it most, in their pocketbooks. Take whatever you feel the damages might have been, and add a zero on the end. Or two zeroes, or three, until these companies get the message.
- tchaffee 8y agoYes. Mandatory jail terms for all sorts of white collar crimes. You gave no reason why we shouldn't other than that you seem shocked. I bet the first few people will be shocked. Much like Martha Stewart was. And then they will very quickly get the message. We've tried fines. Huge fines. Businesses don't care. They continue to do this stuff on a very regular basis.
