Define "unqualified."

Like, unqualified to even build a see-saw for a public playground? Agreed

Unqualified to work for Boeing? Highly debatable at this point

Can we please instate a corporate death penalty? And some sort of persona non grata for executives who contributed to the condemnable behavior?

Also, new rule: if the sum of pay and benefits for a company's C-suite and stock buybacks is greater than the sum of the pay for your non-contractor employees then all the stocks bought back must be transferred to your employees and contractors.

That shit doesn't even work for petty crimes, why do you think it would work for people who can buy their way out of it?

Don't say "no" just because it hasn't worked yet!

Be bold! Be daring!

Stomp on a CEO's crotch!

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Nah, I don't want to be choked out by their private militia.

But hey, if that's something you're up for dying pointlessly for, be my guest!

Stomping on their crotch will hurt them less than taking their money.

Fine the CEO’s personally at 90% yearly salary for fuckups like this and shit will change real fast.
