I hate billionaires as much as the next guy, but I’d rather they be held accountable for their crimes by living a long and miserable life in prison, with none of the white-collar kid-gloves they’d normally get.
While in prison, they shouldn’t be allowed to do anything with any carbon footprint. They should be forced to grow fresh food, but not be able to eat it, to offset the crappy prison-food they should be forced to eat for the rest of their lives.
Do you think they would willingly allow that to happen?
Highly highly unlikely, but we can dream about real justice.
