    Still crazy people get the same charge for driving around with some plants…

    There’s a lot of shit we need to fix, but our justice system is a big one.

    20 years should be the plea deal if they fess up and snitch on everyone else, not the max were seeking. The damage a wealthy person can do is astronomical. So we need to start sentencing them appropriately.

    Life should be the minimum were seeking, even just causing power loss where they build a data center has killed people already. Wanton reckless endangerment resulting in death is a big deal even if you’re a billionaire, I’d say it’s a bigger deal because a billionaire has zero financial stress.

    They can literally afford to take time and be careful, if they don’t then fuck em

      If the US would fix its tax system, such that the wealthy paid 90% after a certain amount again (as they did under Eisenhower) without all these loopholes, the wealthy wouldn’t be so dangerous.

      They could easily be rendered toothless before even worrying about how much time they deserve behind bars (which is still a lot).
