Again. Don't care. The damage is localized compared to what op is talking about.

Covid is highly infectious, there’s nothing localized about it. Those ice cream licks could be case 0 for thousands of infections and multiple deaths.

It’s a bad example, not sure why you’re defending it.

Because you're still missing the point on how bad that is compared to what these companies have done.

This is like being burned by a candle vs being burned by a nuclear fucking explosion.

Again, the amount of effort our system puts to punish and criminalize these people is not at all comparable to the protections they offer to the companies that do have that nuclear explosion level damage on everyone.

You're missing the entire point, and this thread is basically a great example of why we keep fucking up like this.

Yep, and the people that we "elect" to make those big decisions rather go after the money and their own self interest.
