They are legally protected from the punishment of more than anything. Nothing will ever hit them with more than NOTHING.

Then the law has failed, which was my point from the start.

Why would you try to belittle me by repeating my opinion? That doesn't make sense at all.

Because unless you plan on becoming a lobbyist, or politician, or activist nothing will change. Sitting around saying "They have to get in trouble in some manner" doesn't do anything. If you want that to happen, since they are legally protected from what you want, go make a change.

I don't live in the US, but the first step towards change is getting mad and raising awareness, this is the change I can make.

Closer to home, I full heartedly support the strike on Tesla Sweden for example.
