    Hypothetically, is there a specific number of billionaires that would have to be executed to have some sort of impact? IMO, even if the rich have just a little incentive not to be the most egregious profiteers, it’ll make some impact.

      Just 3 IMO, because 1 is only an anomaly, 2 is just coincidence.

      But 3 is a pattern, then behavior will adjust.

        I thought we say: we need more flesh for the prison-industrial complex.

        Although, sentence length doesn’t seem to be correlated to deterrence, that doesn’t mean the inevitability of imprisonment isn’t a legitimate deterrent at all. For example, the belief that there’s a high likelihood of getting caught does increase deterrence.
