Comment on The Crowdstrike whoops would've been so much worse in 2020

Yeah man, super problematic to hold business owners responsible for the criminal negligence of their companies. This is America, business owners are to be insulated against harsh legal consequences. That’s what interns are for.

You don’t blame the intern you blame the company. They get a large fine and then the board starts asking questions. Also if a CEO messes up bad enough they told to leave.

Oh, so this was nobody’s fault and nobody gets any real legal trouble? Just business as usual, and if shareholders are mad enough the CEO gets a Golden parachute…
I’m confused, are you just lecturing us on how things currently work, or are you actually advocating for protecting high-level decision-makers from the legal consequences of their own negligent actions? Because the latter is some capitalist bullshit.
Businesses run this badly can be blamed on leaders. When negligence causes this much damage, those leaders need to face actual consequences, if only as a warning to other business owners that you won’t get away with it.
Taking extreme risks with the world’s infrastructure is a gamble that might win you a few years in federal prison. We should make that clear before the next “disruptor” comes along and tries running critical operational software like it’s an EA video game…
