No, you should not destroy businesses for any transgressions, even for extremely serious ones.
Would it be correct to say that your suggestion stems from a general dislike of corporations, rather than from the circumstances of this particular case?
- HelloNurse 7y agoWell, the intent is precisely that they cease to exist. They shouldn't be making airplanes because they are a threat to public safety, it's not a mere "dislike".
- frostburg 7y agoNo; I don't trust corporations, but I don't have a specific a priori distaste for them. I want to point out that I don't want everyone working for Boeing out of a job, I want people that invested in Boeing to lose that investment (so that other boards in the future are incentivized to hold other management teams accountable) and to erase the obviously dangerous safety culture that currently exists in the company. I'm sure that their employees and assets could be useful for their competitors.
- philjohn 7y agoThere's a philosophical argument to be made wrt corporate personhood. If we lock up and/or execute people for serious transgressions, are corporations let off too easily (fines usually a fraction of their yearly profit, and therefore just a cost of doing business)?
