    Imagine if I killed someone, hid the evidence, promised to be better, and didn’t do anything to improve so I got slapped with a $248 bill and were free to go on as normal.

    The legal system is an unjust joke. Any individual doing these acts would be fucked for life.

      It’s even worse…

      At no moment, you are in financial or personal trouble because (despite this situation being 100% your decision) it’s your old company!

      You already left with a big bonus and don’t care if this decision will impact people life… You fly in private jet…

      Yep, really good system…

        Corporations are people! That’s why the people who run the corporations can’t be responsible for what the person who is the corporation does!

        I once got stuck sitting beside a Boeing engineer on a flight. We both had the same layover, and both picked the very back seats of each plane. So I started joking about Boeing losing the F-35 program after wasting billions of taxpayers dollars since the 90s. He was neither impressed nor amused, and I didn’t see him on thr next flight when we all boarded. I’m assuming he changed his flight

      Promised to do better, then got “lucky” when two people who let everyone know about the murders died suddenly.

      And that’s just one death. They killed hundreds of people and are getting fined less than a normal person would for a speeding ticket.
