Stop suing! They don’t care they can make more money through lying. Start jailing them!

It’ll never happen, but I wish 🙁
CA needs the money though

They only care about money. That’s why hurting their profits is an effective method to change what they do.
Imagine renewable electricity was 10 times more profitable than generating it from fossil fuels. Of course they would want to be clean energy barons. Lawsuits can make a business less profitable, can make investments more risky. So this is good! I agree jailing would be a much stronger incentive.
But to put someone into jail, you also have to sue them first, don’t you? At least that’s what my translator suggests.
I wouldn’t be sad to see vigilante justice against them.
This should be a depressing picture, but… I’ve been playing too much Factorio.
Oil in Factorio is super wonky. One pump jack can supply all(!) flamethrowers, but don’t even try to make some products out of the same amount of oil.
Jail them
Jail time is the only thing that will put a stop to real abuse. A 5% of profit fine just makes them laugh
Governments need to be able to jail corporations.
But then who’s jailing the governments
The justice system, which is separate
This will lead to fines and settlements and then the executives will get off scot free. Just modern day absolution writs
