Shut off their water lines, cut off their power, cancel trash collection, and close their roads. Failure to abide by the laws regulating infrastructure means they don't deserve infrastructure.
Eeehhh, how about you just arrest the owner? Mich more effective and a lot less work involved
Plus, when I break the law, I go to jail. Same here
It's owned by a corporation. Corporations have the rights of a person. But unlike actual people, you can't arrest a corporation.
You can, however, confiscate all their stuff.
So arrest everyone on the board or the CEO and CFO. Problem solved?
No, but we can execute a corporation like we would a human.
But that would require a government that wasn't constantly on its knees in front of the oligarchs with their mouth open.
Not with that attitude. Corporations are made up of actual people that make these decisions. Arrest them.
There were efforts to move down the anti-trust path when Biden was President. But too many Americans voted for a billionaire convicted of fraud, and all investigations into any billionaire disappeared and those that were already convicted of crimes were pardoned.
You can think it's my attitude that caused this but really it's ignorance that made things this way.
Pretty sure turning off supply is easier than getting an arrest warrant against a person whom the corporate system intentionally makes it hard for them to be held criminally accountable.
¿Por que no los dos?
Or both?
Prison time distributed by ownership at the time of crime.
Arrest their entire c-team.
This. setup road blocks on trash day & see how long they last in sticking piles of garbage
