    How about you jail the Google and Telco execs that signed a deal that broke the law?

    If I break the law Ingo to jail, if an exec at a company does It, they get levied a small tax.

    What. The. Fuck.

      Sorry, corporations are only legally ‘people’ when it suits them - like when paying bribes contributing to SuperPACs and lobbying. If it doesn’t suit them, like with crimes, then suddenly… nobody is responsible.

      Strange how the powerful’s chosen candidates whose campaigns they fund have tended throughout history to not pass legislation the would have consequences for their funders. It almost makes me want to go out on a limb and say the system disproportionately benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor who can’t just buy their way out of consequences.
