Revealed: Tyson Foods dumps millions of pounds of toxic pollutants into US rivers and lakes - Lemmy.World

It’s almost like if you don’t regulate giant corporations they’ll do whatever the fuck they want
And the one thing they want is to maximize profits. It’s not that they want rivers and lakes to be polluted, it’s that not polluting rivers and lakes costs more money than polluting rivers and lakes. And if the fines aren’t higher than the difference, then they’ll just keep doing it and pay their subscription fee.
Polluting natural resources is a violent crime against all of humanity. It should not be a fine.
Jail Time, significant jail time is what should result from these actions.
Corporations are people, last I heard. Sounds like board members and executives should split prison time between them based on percentage of culpability.
