    Often institutions are held accountable and they still don’t care, because they still make more money than they will be fined for breaking the laws or rules.

    Also, institutions don’t make decisions, people running them do. We need to start holding people running those institutions accountable and sending them to jail.

      But yes I agree entirely, these people need to be sent to jail and sometimes worse depending on what they do.

      A manager can be responsible for the verifiable deaths of thousands of people and, if their country is willing to use the death penalty on depraved murderers in the first place, such a person should face it as well
