Forget legal recourse (assuming this post is true at face value which is a huge assumption I know) but if a corporation is trying to get out of ending a human life in such an obviously unjust way, we as a society should be burning them to the ground.

But at the same time, who would throw away their life (being jailed) in order to do that, because citizens are definitely not protected in the same way, so this will just keep on happening. (Assuming this case is real, but there are other equally abhorrent examples of corporations being excused of consequences for ending human life for the sake of making money)

it's great that the corporate lawyers who do this shit get more of societies abstracted denatured fungible resources than any doctor, any engineer, any social worker. this fucking system is irreparably broken.

there are things we can do though.

we can exclude them from society; the entire professional apparatus of law that enables this. we can put bodily fluids (or random allergens) in their food and drink. we can treat them rudely and last at the hospital. we can lose their paperwork. we can slash their tires. we can spit in their faces. we can cut them off in traffic. we can publish the graduating classes of law schools. we can pick fights with them in bars. we can ruin their dry cleaning. I bet some of us could even fuck up surgeries, or just be a little slow with the jaws of life. we can even reward any children that bully theirs, encourage it, coach it, unless those children loudly reject their parents. we can undercut and isolate and torment them at every opportunity. and we can normalize all of this. not that any of us will ever see it happen, of course. I know I'm not going to see shit.
