@ZenHeathen see, this is what we need to reverse as a "#trend"…

• #Managers claim their high bonuses are compensating for risks, yet they almost never face jailtime (Cases like #Skilling, #Holmes and #Shkreli are the exception because 'they fucked richer people over'…) even when they evidently and knowingly run a company into the ground.

• Bar associations either have to ban "#AI" or rightfulky see their reputation and legitimacy crater.

• "If the #penalty for a #crime is a #fine it's only illegal for the #poor!": Evidently the #penalties are too low!

• Make CxOs personally liable for their decisions aka. force them to put some skin in the game cuz #freelancers and #SME|s are forced to do so every time!
