I read your comment to be a sarcastic critique of those who are opposed to our carceral state. But it's clear there is a huge disparity between the way we treat white-collar crime and blue-collar crime as the article makes crystal clear. Your critique falls flat.

> Perhaps we could give the businesses who violate the law zero interest loans so they don’t feel pressured to do work at bad margins like this and cut corners.

Why do only businesses get kid glove treatment?

I also want zero interest loans for breaking the law.

Let’s give people arrested for being homeless zero interest loans to buy a house. Let’s give people who are arrested for stealing food zero interest loans to put their life back on track?

"mistakes"

It is often very, very charitable, even disingenuous, to call a lot of accidents the results of mistakes. "Willful negligence" is often a more apt description. Intentionally disgregarding safety in order to boost margins.

/s? The violations in question almost all happened during ZIRP. Capitalism is the culprit here, zero interest loans just meant they had more juice to squeeze from their workers.

You have no idea what fascism is. You also don’t seem to understand the mindset of capitalism.

This has to be satire.

Business owners are not entitled to labor, especially if it puts labor in harm’s way. State “violence” exists to protect citizens from business owners and the broader capitalistic system.
