I think with the harm that these companies are doing, the angry pitchfork mobs are a serious suggestion and not just hyperbole anymore

Keep in mind that not very long ago some random person assassinated an insurance CEO and many people's reaction was along the lines of "awesome, that fat cat got what he deserved"

Don't underestimate how much of society absolutely loathes the upper class right now.

I would bet that many people are one layoff away from calling for execs to get much worse than jail
