At this point, breaking them up into smaller companies. Then start fining the individual companies so the balance sheets feel the fine more. Increase the fines exponentially for each violation.

The other option is jailing those who direct companies to break laws. It works for criminal organizations, why doesn't it work for companies?

If anyone will be going to jail within a corp, it's usually some low-level scapegoat and rarely the C-suite.

What is the likelihood of that happening? Realistically? Does anyone think government can, or even wants to, break up large companies? The large companies _own_ the politicians.
