What CEOs do you want sent to jail? And what were their crimes?



One idea: PG&E has killed lots of California residents through neglect, not to mention all the damage caused by fires that were their responsibility. Someone ought to pay for that other than the tax payers, if only to make an example.


Why not start with the politicians that let PG&E do this?


Let’s get to the bottom of the barrel, why not abolish all modern technology which has a will independent of humanity and leads to all those bad outcomes?

see the book Technological Slavery by Dr. Skrbina



Did he do something criminal or was this a bad accident? Would you prefer if your government could just decide who to toss in jail (which is what the CCP does). I'd prefer I had the right to a trial. Also a judiciary that is separate to from the rest of government to protect the population from politically motivated prosecutions.


> Did he do something criminal or was this a bad accident?

Even is something is an accident, gross negligence is still a thing and may be criminal depending on the consequences of said negligence.


And thats what courts are supposed to do.
