> Yet the police aren’t arresting those folks

Do you really want the police to take the law in their own hands and just start arresting people they don't like?



I'd be pretty content if legislative bodies passed laws that empowered prosecutors to actively go after white collar criminals with the same fervour that they went after people who grew some weed in the 90s.

And of course I'd like to see law enforcement actually act on those powers, and the powers that they currently have to stop white collar crime from doing the kind of damage that it does to our society.

This[0] is a good example of the kind of stuff that we should be excising from our society because the cost of not doing so is unchecked corruption that hoovers up resources that could be fixing all kinds of social ills that we both are worse off from.

Don’t like? I am talking about people that are in fact responsible for the death of thousands of people, you realize that is the result of the choices right?
