    As a society, we should ensure everyone that goes through something like this ends up a millionaire who never has to work again.

    That’ll motivate workers to unionize more than anything else we could possibly do.

      Want to fix this? It’ll take a) jail time, and b) asset seizure.

      Corporate structure deliberate distributes responsibility for things like this such that:

      • It’s very hard to find one person to blame, let alone prove malfeasance.
      • If by some chance you do find a smoking gun, the fine for doing so is usually less than the profit of the transgression

      If, eg, Howard Schultz and his direct-reports faced fines and/or jail time directly, and those fines were orders of magnitude the harms of the action, then you’d see some of this stop.

        I would offer that we hit the entire corporate/franchise structure with a % of revenue fine. That shit will get fixed real quick.
