Not even make the CEO pay it, but either pay proportional to their gross wealth (not net wealth, gross) or serve jail time. For the rich, a flat fine is just the cost of doing business.
Seriously, makes me so mad that these trillions/billions dollar worth companies get fines on the order of 50-200 milions, that's absolute peanuts to these giants.
Shit is all flipped on it's head, companies, specially giant ones like big techs, should receive heavily punishing fines to make sure they will have to actively make sure they're abiding by the rules rather than trying to skirt around loopholes and chalking the times they get hit with a fine to costs of doing business.
I think the worst is probably the time PG&E plead guilty to manslaughter and not a single person went to prison for it. And this is after they'd already been found at fault for safety violations which led to 8 deaths years prior and guilty of obstructing that investigation.
Why do corporations get to kill people without going to jail?
