Well what do you want? It's not like they can go into a time machine and go back and hit them harder with fines back then.
I'm not arguing that there hasn't been failures in holding these companies accountable in the past. All I'm saying is it seems to be happening now, and continuing into the future.
To say it's useless it's just false, you got to work for the day you're in and in the days to come, you can't do anything anymore for the days that have been.
Trust me, if I had a magic wand that would make these companies responsible for everything they've done in all of time, I'd be waving that around like an orchestra conductor.
But for whatever reasons we don't vote people into the government that holds people accountable for this stuff. There's a lot of issues, a lot of wrongs, in our society, but you fight the battles you can, and every win you cherish, and then you work for the next win.
And you never give up.
