I am very happy that I don't get treated like a criminal just because I forgot to pay a bill, I don't see why companies should be treated differently.
- MeImCounting 3y agoAgain, we are not talking about "late checks" here. Say youre renting an apartment. It costs 3000 a month but you only pay 2500 a month. Is that ok? Should you be allowed to live in that apartment?
- FireBeyond 3y agoYou're all over this thread trying to miscategorize wage theft as "paying a bill late". It's not. It's systematically _not ever_ paying monies owed, on an ongoing basis. And given the number of interactions you've had on this where this has been explained, it seems to be deliberately obtuse on your part by now. This in between you trying to describe it as a small, almost non-existent problem, and when it does happen, it's non-profitable small businesses just struggling to keep the lights on. Very hard to assume good faith here.
- FpUser 3y agoI am all for fairness. Then explain why people are being criminally charged for car theft when there is none. It was malicious reporting with the purpose of settling later. Meanwhile no one at Hertz is currently facing criminal penalties for initiating the false arrests with law enforcement. >"I don't see why companies should be treated differently." In this case I'd love people to get away with fraud / theft / etc. After all big companies commit it left and right and gets away with it.
