Executives, focus on executives.
No. As an engineer, I can and will vouch for building a larger, stronger chain of regret against greed, lest this type of shit happen again years down the line.
The more people scarred by touching and feeling the results of their own greed and hubris, the longer it'll be before we see such disregard for human life in an engineering firm.
This shit happens all the time. Look at car settlements, it starts at the top. I'm not against a whistle blower framework at all, but it seems like executives get all the pay and none of the culpability (see headline).
It's literally the point of a corporation, to shield owners from responsibility.
Point of a corporation is to make money. Point of a "limited liability company" is to prevent losses on the company side from financially damaging the owners. LLC's do not (and should not) protect owners from criminal acts.
