Culture starts at the top... Since criminal charges are probably a no-go (and under what law?) maybe an appropriate punishment would be to have every board member and exec pay back all profits and compensation they earned from Boeing dating back to 2005-ish (whenever financialization took hold). And it can't go away by declaring bankruptcy, they all need to pay back every penny starting immediately.
- hayst4ck 2y agoI don't think the US government even has mechanisms by which they can forcibly take money from the rich and the country is so corrupt that enforcing any kind of rule of law (which means law that applies to the rich, too) would cause large amounts of capital flight which would cause economic problems and instability for those in power. Your average american doesn't understand that holding someone powerful to account is going to be personally painful (the idea contained in "freedom isn't free"). Yellen has even poked at this problem by trying to get other countries to band together and not accept billionaires fleeing from taxes and law enforcement.
