> You are trying to turn “the corporations are committing crimes” into “the peasants are starving”

No, I'm pointing out the real limitations on the types of punishments that folks--typically on the left, with good intentions but breathlessly naively--like to propose. Ignoring the board doesn't make you a smarter player.

I'm then pointing out the option that works within those limitations to exact tremendous justice. The option that when it comes up, anyone in its crosshairs will immediately start pointing to hare-brained schemes like a "corporate death penalty" to get out of. Massive. Fines.

(For those who prefer jail time to fines, do you really thing Bytedance's CZ would trade his 6 months in jail for the tens of billions he's personally walked away with?)
