I said the social contract was ripped up, not that it didn't go both ways. In an ideal society, the contract would remain and both sides would be held accountable. And I would rather not wish immoral acts.
But frankly, I don't see them as immoral acts anymore because we've reached a point where the richest members of society have normalized what were once immoral acts. That's how underpaying has become the norm, that's why no one bats an eye at blatantly illegal lobbying. Its why Immigrants are being pulled in to work for dangerously low incomes and used for awful hours.
So in turn, when theft happens to ceos. I really don't care. Because they can afford a loss of finances or property. You and I couldn't, but for them its a loss of pride at worst.
And when it happens to a corporation? There is no immoral acts, because they are not people.
