Yeeeeeah, “jail them for beliefs not actions” is a hard pass for me.

This guy and so many other tech bros need to be imprisoned for life. Just for their beliefs, which manifests as shitty actions against the people.

Their beliefs affect millions of people, and they have the money to fund ventures that are in line with their shitty beliefs.

So jail them on funding those ventures. Thought crimes are a bad thing, no matter who you direct them at.

All American oligarchs are involved in large scale fraud, corruption and organized crime activity. Not to mention many of them are involved in enabling mass scale killings/deaths.
We need judicial and criminal justice reform (Americans specifically, but this is a broader issue) that would allow for independent judicial proceedings, meaningful incentives to avoid a life of crime and real world rehabilitation.
Incentives should include any scheme with more than X10 annual median salaries would requireing full asset seizure (everything, every last cent) a mandatory 20 years live-in community service in position such as junior janitor at an infectious disease hospital, junior de-mining specialist, junior assistant at a waste site renewal project.
IT access outside of work channels would be restricted. One wouldn’t be allowed outside of the location of their community service program outside of perhaps grocery and a trip to the library.
No one should be forced to do this. If they don’t like the terms, they are free to do 40 years in prison instead.
To make sure that there are no “schemes” to avoid asset seizure, all family members, business partners or comparable persons of interest would be required to sign affadavits stating that they understand that if it is ever found that they aided in helping/not reporting such schemes, they took will have all their assets seized, be required to do 20 years community service (or 40 years in prison) and all their family member and business would be required to sign similar affidavits.
This is only for large scale fraud and corruption. Crimes around enabling mass killings/deaths (e.g. Zuckerberg and other FB executives enabling genocide of Rohingya people) would be best dealt with a public execution via guillotine.

I like your proposal. Actually I would also add certain other jobs like daycare worker (after a thourough background check including checking their computers and phones for child porn), certified nurse aide or farm picker. I can speak about the great need for nurse aides. We have a massive shortage of healthcare workers, and it’s even worse at the nurse aide level because the work is tiring but pays so little. Why should immigrants be funnelled into these jobs to make up for the labor gap in the healthcare sector? We need born citizens to also pick up the slack, and learn how to care for their fellow man.
