    The Obama administration missed a real opportunity when they didn’t prosecute bankers in the aftermath of the 2008 crash. Had they forced the bailouts be paid back with interest over time and arrested the most egregious actors from the banking sector, I think it would have gone a long way for their image. The light touch with bankers and the readiness to bail out wall street while leaving main street to suffer hurt the democrats image bad. That and NAFTA lost them the middle class, and the right capitalized by exploiting performative social issues.

      A while back there was a tainted milk scandal in China that impacted tens of thousands of children for life and killed several.

      Have you noticed it hasn’t happened again?

      It seems that executions (of which there were several) and prosecution/jailing of wealthy company owners (of which there were many) do have a deterrent impact after all.
