alt Hacker NewsThe US Government routinely treats corporations with kid gloves. When they're found to be breaking the law, the company usually says "oopsie doopsie, did we do that??" and the government in turn settles with "naughty, naughty, just don't do it again!" It's like kindergarten punishment. But if you or I break federal law, it's PMITA Prison for us.
Americans explicitly voted for this. From Reagan on, it was explicit policy that we should leave corporations be, for god knows what bullshit reason. Then, finally Biden's admin started gearing up the government to actually enforce the laws on the book for a functional market.
So people voted for not that. Again.
