      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.

        Well, small fines that let an institution continue profiting in violation of rules is hardly being held to account

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