Lawsuits that lead to companies paying externalities are an OK idea.

Stop suing! They don’t care they can make more money through lying. Start jailing them!

They only care about money. That's why hurting their profits is an effective method to change what they do.

Imagine renewable electricity was 10 times more profitable than generating it from fossil fuels. Of course they would want to be clean energy barons. Lawsuits can make a business less profitable, can make investments more risky. So this is good! I agree jailing would be a much stronger incentive.

But to put someone into jail, you also have to sue them first, don't you? At least that's what my translator suggests.

I wouldn't be sad to see vigilante justice against them.

CA needs the money though
