  The horror!!
context: If no sanctions were put against Russia,most western companies who left would still be operating in Russia now. Those companies who closed their businesses left because they supply chain was disrupted by sanctions. Companies don't care about how many children are shelled. They care about profits. >
  
  Corporations are not people.  
  A corporation is a legal fiction that enables durable contracts that are not void upon death of the contracting party. 
  That's it.  
  Corporations only have one priority, "Maximize shareholder wealth". 
  This is why Citizens United is bullshit. If a Corporation cannot be put in prison or electrocuted in Old Sparky at Huntzville, Texas, it is NOT a person.  
  Corporations are amoral, profit-seeking mechanisms. No corporation would pull out of Russia as long as its shareholders could see returns for doing business there.  
  And for those who haven't been paying attention, the 'investment class' is a bunch of amoral parasites as well.  
  This is why Corporations must be forced to 'do the right thing' by making it a losing proposition for their shareholders to continue doing business in Russia. Therefore, sanctions.  
  And Corporations (aka their managers and shareholders) will FIGHT sanctions, laws, taxes designed to obstruct their making profit-driven decisions that are evil. So that means we-the-people must insist our elected representatives fight back and make them happen. >
  
  We really need to bring back criminal liability for corporate executives and board of directors. >
  
  No chance that was ever implemented for even 10 seconds >
  
  Bring back as in before corporations were a thing all business were proprietorships where the owners were legally responsible for their actions. Why not keep corporations but remove the limit to liability of it's owners/decision makers >
  
  Something something RISK!! something something RED TAPE!! something something FREEDOM!! >
  
  Well, I mean it would only be fair, right? After all, all those JOB CREATORS have to take all that RISK, which is why they get paid so much, right? >
  
  Ah yes, the awful risk of having to sell their labor for a wage, just like the rest of us.
