Let's compare to Purdue and the Sacklers, shall we?

Purdue owns a huge piece of the responsibility for the opioid epidemic. They created OxyContin and lied about it's addictiveness. They are probably responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people at this point. The Sacklers were heavily involved in all aspects of this and became billionaires because of it.

Nobody has been criminally charged. The government tried to give them a Jeffrey Epstein level pass by essentially allowing them to pay a few billion dollars over 20 years, which essentially amounted to interest off their ill-gotten gains. Last I heard an appeals court said no, you can't do that and release liability. This really was a slap on the wrist.

Now compare this to what China does [1][2][3].

Remember how all those people went to jail for mortgage fraud after 2008? Oh wait... And now? We just sell pardons [4]. This sort of thing used to cause a scandal (eg [5]).

Who is "them"? The scientists at the time? The managers at the time? The managers now? The stockholders who have already sold and made their profits?

So, what is anyone gonna do about? Do YOU want to sacrifice your life to play supermario bros against the Managers and CEOs responsible for that? Are they even alive anymore?
