Why is the discussing of death penalty vs prison relevant, when western evecutives never go to prison?

Boeing killed 500 people, they knew the plane was faulty, and they suffered no consequence.

Untill a CEO of a major corp or a bank thats 'too big to fail' spends a few years behind bars, this whole discussion is just some sort of fantasy revenge fap.



Capital punishment is already legal in 27 states and at the federal level. It’s really about pushing the Overton window to where it is acceptable for corporate harm beyond a certain threshold. Certainly not revenge porn, simply proportionality. Otherwise, malfeasance of this scale will be with us in perpetuity with little to no consequences for those perpetrating it with no remorse. There is a need for genuine limited liability, but also the ability to forcibly pierce that protection for bad faith actors.
