I’m hearing that the USFS has laid off huge numbers of firefighters, including veterans, and won’t be allowed to hire their usual seasonal firefighting force this year.

Edit: ProPublica now has a detailed article

    we need a corporate death penalty also, thats not steered by the need for jobs. We need to reform capitalism itself. The current iteration doesnt work.

      I would say that the corporate equivalent of the death penalty is seizure of the corporation, which is pretty much what I’m talking about. Issue “share” fines constituting 50% + 1 of the ownership, and the former company no longer exists. Its assets are now yours to control.
