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.
