Corporations are people, and therefore need to feel very bad things when they break the law, so they will remember, and won’t break the law again. Where does the corporation feel things? In its head of course. Responsibility lies here too, poetically. So take the top three layers, just to be sure.BTW, this is exactly the kind of bullshit I was talking about back here.


Oh, and the public bookkeeping (wait, three letter pairs? huh!) should demonstrate that the majority of compensation for the victims derives directly from the compensation for c-grade and above. Really, c’mon, we’re all grown-ups here.

Good god—sorry for all of the obviously he hasn’t read this at all type of typos. [ EDIT: this of course refers to some typographical errors I made in the last post, which I have of course now gone back into and corrected, because who wants to leave that stuff laying around, right? ]

Not that anyone gives a hoot, but we notice even if we don’t say anything, right? Right.

To comfort you in this desperate time let me share this typo. It happens to all of us, one way or another.
