13381337, Our system has diffused responsibility so much and made everything legal

A private equity banker from wall street can make a budgetary decision that indirectly (or directly) leads to the death of 1000 of people on the otherwise of the globe (or city) and there are so many intermediaries between that decision making and death that no one is ever held responsible.

Who has been held accountable for the lead in the water in Flint?

Shit has changed in my lifetime because at least with the S&L scandals of the 80s people actually went to jail. It was unthinkable to send people to jail in 2008 though trillions of dollars were wiped away.
