Easy? You’re letting your outrage short-circuit your brain. There’s no way you’ve thought this ridiculous proposal through.
Boeing is part of the S&P 500. Almost every American who has stocks is going to have a fund that includes Boeing. That includes people with 401Ks, so basically everyone in the middle class. You’re talking about charging a 100 million people.
Okay, so maybe that’s what you intended. Now what? Does everybody now have a criminal record? What exactly are they charged with? Negligent homicide? A fraction of a percent of the deaths from the 737 Max? Who charges them? How does it get through the courts? What are the exact consequences, and why does Joe Random Schmoe deserve those consequences? Let’s see you actually think this through.
- flandish 3y agoLike I said - all it will take is once. Below a certain holding quantity, fine the shareholders. I didn’t say it was simple. Capitalism has destroyed more lives than it’s really worth. If it wants to keep existing its capital owners should be held responsible.
