I think many things in the world would be better if executives had real personal liability. Reminds me, the executive of the company responsible for the huge port explosion in Tianjin, China was apparently personally liable (suspended death sentence!): https://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/2044719/chinese-businessman-receives-suspended-death-sentence https://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/20...
- dontlaugh 4y agoSadly that kind of thing seems to only happen in China. Most other countries have the perpetrators in charge of the state.

- dontlaugh 4y agoReading Marx and Lenin helps a great deal to understand that relationship, although the material conditions of some (especially in exploited nations) may already provide an intuitive understanding. I doubt I’m the only communist on HN, despite the site’s clear pro-capitalist bias.
- whitemary 4y agoWell, I know you aren’t the only communist here ;) Cheers!

- blackflame7000 4y ago150 million people died to communism dang in the last 200 years. If you cant post facts on your forum the this place isn’t worth anyones time. Your feelings dont invalidate logic. There is nothing egregious about the word retarded go read its exact definition. Maybe the word dang is offensive to me. What makes u right and me wrong? Were adults, with all due respect, mind your own business hall monitor. Genicidal support deserves to be flamed
- dang 4y agoThis has nothing to do with how bad communism was or your favorite facts. It has to do with breaking the rules of this site. If you keep doing that, we will have no choice but to ban you again.
- blackflame7000 4y agoCan you please point me to the rule that specifies every word I cannot use? Plus you like working on this site why don’t you just make the words not postable if it offends you so much. Why leave this dangerous language around? Why don’t you go 1984 and clean up your allowed dictionary? Don’t you know that in order to think you have to risk being offensive? You have no problem offending me by threatening ostracization. Your posts aren’t constructive they are divisive and authoritarian. Your comments don’t add to the conversation they just remind people that they’re not free to express her full opinion for fear of someone’s feelings. In fact, you might offend more people than anyone on the site if you view your comment history. You should make every decision like it can one day be turned on you.
- dontlaugh 4y agoI’ve seen at least a handful of clear examples over the years. Perhaps more lately, which is not surprising I guess.
- landemva 4y agoFamily members tell me in Italy the plant managers are personally liable for worker injuries. A workplace death is a big deal, even if the executive in charge resides in another country.
