Yes, because there is a clear shortage of competitors and investors to take up the slack. Oh how could we have survived without BP walking away from the greatest disaster since Valdez?

Derp.
It's like saying "Let's execute every cop that makes a bad call".
"Sounds like a lot of cops would simply quit, facing that pressure"
"Oh riiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Because there is a clear shortage of people wanting to be policemen!"
Well there would be if your dumb plan was implemented, wouldn't there?
Derp x2.

So we are on the too big to fail train now?DBTrek wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 3:28 pmAnd 63,600 formerly fully employed people would have no jobs.
But I'm sure you pay enough in taxes to cover their economic losses and keep them housed, clothed, and fed.
... and to cover the losses the of all the taxes they once paid, when they had jobs.
Or wait ... you'd just tax the rest of the remaining companies and employees *more*, to cover the loss, right?
Until *they* fucked up and had to be taken down as well.
Causing the loss of all those full time jobs and that tax revenue.
But then you could again just tax the rest of the remaining companies and employees *even more*, to cover that loss, right?
Until *they* fucked up and had to be taken down as well....
Sounds like a well considered and sustainable plan.
Bravo.

You're on the "explain how you'd handle the obvious consequences of your decisions" train.
And we've got time.
And you've got all the space in the word to make an intelligent case.
So any time y'all are ready.

Re: Meanwhile in Australia
It may shock you to learn that cops are, in fact, held responsible for their actions. We don't simply fine the police department when they mow down a black kid without reason.DBTrek wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 4:22 pmThere will be when your destroying companies and charging the C-suite execs criminally for every company misstep.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 4:09 pmYes, because there is a clear shortage of competitors and investors to take up the slack.

It may shock you to learn that CEOs have no legal immunity from explicitly ordering the death of people.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 6:07 pmIt may shock you to learn that cops are, in fact, held responsible for their actions.

In fact, judging from your commentary, that will probably blow your mind.
It's true though, there is no equivalent of diplomatic immunity provided for CEOs.
If they have provably committed a crime, they can be convicted and sentenced just like everyone else.
(Bonus shocker: There are CEOs in jail right now.)

Yes, that seems to be a powerful deterrant. What pray tell do we actually convict CEOs for again?DBTrek wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 6:15 pmIt may shock you to learn that CEOs have no legal immunity from explicitly ordering the death of people.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 6:07 pmIt may shock you to learn that cops are, in fact, held responsible for their actions.
