A newly released memo from the banking giant Wells Fargo outlines a predatory scheme to dismantle the USPS: sell off profitable parts, slash union jobs, and raise prices by up to 140 percent.
3B is peanuts to them. I want to see fines that cripple a company’s yearly profits so that, in lieu of criminal investigations and repercussions, the execs at the very least get punished by their board of directors and shareholders. There’s only one language they understand. Another poster called it “operating costs”. That’s what we need to get rid of; punitive fines need to regain their punitive nature in order to be anywhere close to effective.
If a corporation is effectively a ‘person’ under the law, any corp that has caused death should receive the death penalty, and their executives executed by firing squad.

I don’t know Wells Fargo’s gender. That’s illegal now.

No doubt. If fines and settlements are all we can muster, then there needs to be real personal consequences for those responsible as well as the corporation taking responsibility. Until we fully decouple money and politics, I have a hard time imagining that kind of proportionate punishment ever being doled out.
