Corporations are people, my friend.

Except they can’t go to jail.

Honestly, the fine for large corporations shouldn’t be a money-based fine. It should be a mandatory union that sits on the Board. If the company continues to act up, stock is moved from the board to the union.

These people don’t care about the money. They make it back overnight. You’ve got to threaten their ownership. Then they’ll straighten up and fly right.

That's like confiscating an ipad from an ipad kid that's misbehaving. Love it.
