Listen "Episode 19 - Fines: The Cost of Doing Business"
Episode Synopsis
On This Episode:We see this story happen again and again: you got some big scandal blows up, all the news outlets jump on it, and on a set day, they broadcast live as some company rep, usually the CEO or some slick PR person, has to face the public and explain what went wrong. What happened to the company that was supposed to help their customers but instead, they ended up causing harm? Did they recklessly expose personal data without consent? Or did they cut corners, using substandard materials in products whose wear and tear can lead to serious harm—sometimes irreversible or costing victims dearly in medical bills? Worse still, were these dangers knowingly ignored, with materials that cause medical problems or even fatal diseases like cancer? Examples like these and so much more; when companies commit such harmful atrocities, that should lead to real consequences, the punishment should fits the crime. But more often than not, real justice doesn’t happen. The big companies and their powerful leaders only pay a small price and it's not nearly enough for the damage done. All they get, that is perceived by the public, is a light slap on the wrist. And people watch this happen again and again, and the companies just treat the fines and penalties like it’s all part of doing business. The “punishments” don’t really fit the crime; they’re more like a show for the public, a fake expression of justice. If you’re fed up seeing these big players get off easy and want to know why justice so often falls short, then you're not alone. You're wondering where is the justice. Where is the real accountability? And why do these “consequences” just feel like a slap in the face to everyone who’s been hurt?Connect with UsProudly Hosted by RedCircle: https://www.redcircle.com/tylersgrimremindersNow streaming on Spotify :)Substack: https://tylersgrimreminders.substack.com/If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.
