I think about this all the time.

Like if I kill someone of course I go to jail. But if I get some people together, say we're a company, and then kill 100 people, nobody goes to jail. How does that work? What a huge loophole.




Phillips (the company) basically killed people with malfunctioning CPAP machines (which are meant to help against sleep apnea) and no one went to jail. So that's a practical example.


While it sounds funny, it doesn't work like that. We'd be having a real corporate shootouts everyday all over the place :))
