To be clear "notice" wasn't really directed at you specifically, more commenters in general. I'm sorry for wording that confusingly, originally I'd replied to GP with a similar comment to yours but your comment was more comprehensive than mine so I deleted it and replied as a sort of footnote. I'm not really big on incarceration but I broadly agree. |

I wasn't confused. I was on exactly the same page as you.
You comment just prompted me to respond with my own thoughts.
It's all good.
>I'm not really big on incarceration but I broadly agree.
I'm not generally huge on it either (I think we over-incarcerate in the US), but as I mentioned, having strong incentives is important to guide corporate behavior. Besides, if an individual (and especially a poor one) caused a train derailment or dumped battery acid in the drinking water causing sickness or death, or sabotaged a plane so that it crashed, you bet your ass they'd be incarcerated.
Why shouldn't we have the same standards for corporations and the wealthy?
