Thugs around the US violently attacked protesters and journalists at the rallies for George Floyd in 2020. Some of those shot with "nonlethal" weapons and left with irreparable injuries.

Have the thugs that refused to give Evans any help getting to the hospital been punished for that?

Have the thugs that encircled and besieged protesters

been punished for that?

The myth of Capitalism is that investors take risks with their money, so they deserve a big profit when the risk succeeds. I can go along with this to a point: we can't let the investors keep most of the wealth that a business produces — most has to go to workers and to the state.

Nowadays, private equity fund managers and similar "investors" have obtained plutocratist laws which assure them of profits even from failure.

This problem stems from another foolish general practice: the US has more or less given up on penalizing companies that do harm. Instead, the proposal is always to subsidize businesses that say they won't do the harm.

And governments don't even bother to insist that the business do what it was subsidized for.
