    Smack them with the death penalty: Nationalize their defense assets, turn the profits over to Airbus, Bombardier, and Dassault so they can expand their capacity. This has gone on long enough.

      I actually agree with prison sentences for execs that push for criminal activities, especially if people die.

      That said, new execs should then be brought in, who can keep previous execs in mind when making their decisions. Don’t ship going assets off to Airbus. I like Airbus better than Boeing, but we need more competition, not less.

        They are talking corporate death penalty (as evidenced by the rest of the comment), not literal killing of people. And they are correct.

        I’m no fan of Marxist Leninists. But from their first sentence and by all the ones that followed. They were speaking more about corporate death penalty specifically. And they’re right.

        Short of running out of cash or other resources corporations are effectively immortal. There is no low they can stoop to that is too low. Shareholders and board members alike should be afraid of something other than not maximizing profits. And I’d argue, for egregious cases. There absolutely should be manslaughter charges for those involved. If not a death penalty.
