alt Hacker NewsThe underlying cause is exactly those people who make the rules not being responsible for the negative effects they cause?
"CEOs" are perhaps only the lowest rung of those. That doesn't mean the idea of "nobody is responsible" was anything other but learned helplessness.
Corporations have to be held accountable for their actions. Pretending, that was impossible is a weird kind of defeatism that only serves a very small elite.
I'm not saying nobody is responsible, I'm saying this line of thought is ineffective because it does nothing to solve the underlying problem. Holding corporations accountable here will simply push these efforts to other countries, who, to put it mildly, are even less aligned with the US than these CEOs are.
