Most people are only mildly greedy, but that accumulates as a silt in a river, and eventually gives opportunity for more serious greed to manifest in full glory. Corporations, while are not democratic in nature, still get nudged in various direction by all the people around it, not only execs, but (even if differently weighted) also employees, customers, voters. As it is the environment where corporation operates in. Btw. I know it’s a bit of a stretch, but I would call turning a blind eye to minor infractions done by others as manifestation of minor greed. (acting would cost my time/energy without benefit to me) > that specific companies that are found systematically guilty of some sort of crime should be forcibly disbanded. There are limitations what can be actually done to boeing, even if a lot of people agree that boeing is faulty. It is not feasible to just nuke it from the orbit. (As in, “there was boeing a minute ago, and now there is vacuum”)
For example, somehow supply/services to Us military MUST be kept.
Maybe restructuring, maybe some execs investigated, maybe penalty, but military must be supplied.
(Not disagreeing with the sentiment regarding accountability per se, but implementation must be compatible with current reality) > You're on Hacker News, so I have no doubt at all that you're living your life in good faith. Thanks for that, but I would caution you to adjust this heuristic. As I see it, HN is a good filter for tech curiuosity, but it is orthogonal to a lots of things. I’ve read that suicide bombers frequently were engineers. |
