It doesn't directly involve guillotines, but I feel like they will still be required to implement those proposed changes without opposition

We could probably sell the opportunity to pull the rope.

They'll only change through force (i.e. threat of losing profits or threat of losing their lives). It doesn't have to come through vigilante justice but I think we need to make it a lot easier to lock up CEOs. The biggest problem is that CEOs are obligated to maximize shareholder value so they can pretty much always shield themselves with that precedent.
