“But people are going to lose jobs” is always the excuse used when arguing to treat a criminally fraudulent company with kid gloves. Do we really think ~100k people temporarily losing their job (at a criminal enterprise) is going to make America lose its edge?
EDIT: Also: if America’s “edge” largely comes from its business leaders’ immunity from their company’s wrongdoing, then I’m not sure that’s an edge worth keeping.
