I was trying to think of simple legal changes that would make America better for everyone.

The first one that comes to mind is: "Set corporate fines for ANYTHING to be minimum 150% of the money they profited from their lawbreaking, as assessed independently by the government".

Get rid of the concept as "fines as a cost of doing business" and turn them into actual deterrents.

This comes from Yet Another "Oopsie' from local chemical plants.

Why not start with making it illegal for corporations to lie ?

@bsdphk @EmilyGB2023 Supposedly that's already in the law. (False advertising.) Not enough by itself.

It is not the law, false advertising covers barely a tiny corner of all the lies told by corporations.

Think about newspapers/tv-chains publishing things they know are not true.
