It's just a classic social media hot take with no thought behind it, designed to get that instant sweet dopamine from upvotes rather than advance the discussion.
30 years of the web and we still haven't worked out how to discourage this (HN does a better job than most though)
- Xelbair 3y agoIt's a sign of people's discontent with corporation blatantly avoiding laws - especially taxation - when they get punished due to smallest mistakes. Hiding it from online discourse does not change that. I'm not disputing it that it's completely useless to do so online.
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoI read it as simple satire. (Not simple in a judgmental sense, just, as plain old satire.)

Did you know that PG&E (California energy utility) is a convicted felon? It's meaningless to them. "The company was placed on probation in 2017 when it was convicted of six felony crimes connected to one of its natural gas pipelines that exploded in 2010, killing eight people. Since a company can’t go to prison for committing a crime, PG&E faced a $3 million fine and the maximum length of probation.
