      Yeah, Nestle’s existence is a good reminder that, if there is a god out there, they’re the sort of god that likes to burn ants with a magnifying glass.

    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.

      Honestly there shouldn’t even be a difference in our of court settlements.

      A single death should pay out enough to be more expensive than a full recall. Even if the government gets the difference in fees as punishment for negligence.

    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”.

            Minimum? No, I think fines should bankrupt the executives and board members, leaving them homeless at a minimum. If they don’t want to have being homeless as a bad thing, maybe they should start donating to political candidates who would change society for the better and make homelessness either a thing of the past or a very well tended to position.

        Less?

        Try a tiny fraction. Rich people get a flick in the finger and a playful “oh you”

        Reduced because I still haven’t figured out how to keep Lemmy from posting GIFs and videos at maximum possible resolution in the comments TBH.

        Ask as ye shall receive. In this case, it doesn’t fill the entire field from left to right as previewed before posting, but at 1080x1350 I’m curious to see how large it displays.

          Uh, I think you meant to reply to pixel man, but for me it’s showing from the little minimize button on the left, to under the ‘english’ label that’s just to the right of the permalink colored star button. That’s bigger than the original, which went from the same location on the left, to near the end of the lemmy.world in your name.

    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.
