Is America capable of coming up with solution to anything that doesn't involve sueing?
- krapp 4y agoYes, but the other solution is violence.

- falcolas 4y agoYes, once companies regularly respond to stimuli that doesn't involve their bottom line or legality. So, really, no.
- ummonk 4y agoI don’t think guillotining execs would fly in America so no, we’re stuck with suing.
- olliej 4y agoWhat is the alternative to suing? US Corporations have demonstrated significant skill in destroying every regulatory agency, and paying off or bribing every legislator. That any laws get passed at all - that could hurt corporations - is stunning.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoIn that case, what's stopping corporations from buying off every judge? Or buying off the politicians who appoint the judges to be sure that only ones who will side with corporations in these cases are the ones who get appointed?
- olliej 4y agoI think that the latter is what they are already functionally doing? It’s certainly worked for the SC. In principle no matter the appointee judges have to follow the law, but there’s clearly huge amounts of variation and bias in terms of sentencing, penalties, how broadly things are interpreted.
