    So the entire C suite will be jailed for risking babies lives, right? RIGHT?

        I want to live to see the day where Corporations do not have the ability to factor in fines as a “cost of doing business”.

    A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

    You know, if I was the head of a multinational organization that’s infamous for poisoning children, stealing water, and bribing officials… I’d be worried about my personal safety.

    Ya know evil people, committing evil actions, count on good people doing nothing.

      The head of just such an organization hires a lot of bodyguards.

      But, as people tend to learn, the way to excise such a person from their bodyguards, is to remove the bodyguards one at a time.
