Because we can't close corporations for a rules violation.

[wnevets]

I mean we could

[leesalminen]

Kind of like how we could implement the death penalty for marijuana possession?

[wnevets]

It's not like there aren't countries where that exist.

[leesalminen]

Right, but should we? Probably not. That’s what I’m getting at.

[wnevets]

If we really cared about stopping marijuana possession, a death penalty that was objectively and consistently applied would probably work very well.

Arguments by analogy are not worth anybody's time.

[1stcity3rdcoast]

Arguments by analogy are an excellent way to compose an argument. Socrates built entire ethical systems using analogy.

[ionised]

We can, we just chose not to.

[leesalminen]

We chose not to because it’s a bad idea. That’s what I’m getting at here. “Killing” a company for a rules violation is also probably a bad idea.

[ionised]

Killing a company for repeated rules violations is perfectly okay with me though.
