If we can have a murder investigation and assign partial blame for people that are just there while the crime is being committed, why cant we do it for something that harms the entire human race?
Just because we don't have a great framework for something today doesn't mean we should not have it, just that incentives have been against it up to this point.

Check the bank balance of the people being convicted for being present when a crime is committed. Compare it to the bank balance of the people who harm the entire human race.
- hobs 1y agoYeah, see my second sentence - throwing up your hands and claiming inaction isn't the way to solve anything. Saying "but the billionaires don't want it!!" sure, let me pre-give up so its super easy for them to keep winning.
- titzer 1y ago> Compare it to the bank balance of the people who harm the entire human race. Yet another reason why we don't need billionaires. No one should have enough money that they can just pay their way through crime after crime.
- coryrc 1y agoWe won't get there by just saying "they" should be punished; most people can agree on that. Be specific on who and how.
