According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live… Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they’ve already made the deal on compensation.

    DuPont alone reported 16.65B USD in revenue for 2021. And this is split between three companies.

    They get the slap on the wrist and go back to doing whatever until the next slap.

    Well if you’re expecting a fine to take a corporation out of business, that will never happen. But this is no slap on the wrist either, this is a huge hit to their profits. And if you Google it you’ll see there’s more of that happening these days (I only included one example).

    I’m not saying it’s nowhere near perfect, but it’s not nowhere near how your expressing your cynical opinions on the matter either.

        Because even if they take a hit for FY23? They made massive profits off doing this since FY03. It means absolutely nothing.

        Well what do you want? It’s not like they can go into a time machine and go back and hit them harder with fines back then.

        I’m not arguing that there hasn’t been failures in holding these companies accountable in the past. All I’m saying is it seems to be happening now, and continuing into the future.

        To say it’s useless it’s just false, you got to work for the day you’re in and in the days to come, you can’t do anything anymore for the days that have been.

            And on the tangent of what I want? I want DuPont and all the similar companies to be given the bill for cleanup. And for all medical conditions related to what they did going forward as decided by insurance companies. if BCBS decides you have this because of some teflon you drank ten years ago? DuPont gets the bill.

            Trust me, if I had a magic wand that would make these companies responsible for everything they’ve done in all of time, I’d be waving that around like an orchestra conductor.

            But for whatever reasons we don’t vote people into the government that holds people accountable for this stuff. There’s a lot of issues, a lot of wrongs, in our society, but you fight the battles you can, and every win you cherish, and then you work for the next win.

            And you never give up.
