But we live in a broken society where corporations have the rights of people (including political donations as free speech), but don't have the ability to be punished in a way that is at all aligned with what we inflict on actual people. This also means that punishment is largely not an effective deterrent for large companies, where the penalties when they're caught are smaller than the revenue when they're not caught (see cases of tech giants laughing off penalties in the 7-9 figures).
If the cost of being able to actually punish companies is that you sometimes have to actually punish companies with the side effect that we can't spend the whole $900B/yr on war machines to pass on to wars on the other side of the planet ... then sigh, I guess we'll have to settle for only buying $880B of death this year.
