  And in China, when executives commit willfully harmful acts at this scale, they’re executed (6 children dead, hundreds of thousands harmed in my example from citations below). The actions of the Sacklers caused the deaths of over 500k people, and they walk away with a large fine and civil judgment immunity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8375638.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8375638.stm

    Every family of every person who has an interest in the fortune should be followed by hecklers wherever they go for the rest of their lives.

      These people don't mingle with the riff raff. The only middle and lower class people they see are their employees, and that's usually only through a screen or several sheets of glass.

    China sent a cute little state execution van to execute a billionaire on the spot, and I think they billed his family for the cost of sending the van to him and the execution materials. They really don't fuck around, and if the CCP doesn't fall apart from internal strife, they've probably got the 21st century in the bag. Might end up being the best for the survival of humanity and exploration of the universe, who knows.
