Fuck apologies. I don't want to hear an apology from a CEO any more than I want to hear pots and pans scraping on a chalkboard. And I say that as a Canadian.

CEOs should be criminally charged more often for their screwups.

Think Boeing for killing people in their death trap airplanes, Tesla for killing pedestrians and cyclists with their half baked self driving software, health insurance companies denying claims that could have saved lives, etc etc etc.

You don't get to cause harm to people with your profit driven decisions and walk free.

The most common justification from capitalists for CEOs' disgustingly high income is that they "take on the risk of the business" so when their business breaks the law, why the fuck shouldn't they be dragged in front of a jury to answer for those crimes?

You can be sorry while rotting in prison.
