This is what capitalism will always do, and why we must remove the capitalists from power and never allow them power again.

@nogodsnomasters I have heard stories of elderly people in the US robbing banks for small sums just to go to prison for the provided healthcare, though that says more about the healthcare system.

Alternatively, if we took a 15 year's sentence to be the standard for stealing $100, then the executive who stole $3B should get a 30,000,000 year sentence.
Yeah, a 30 million year sentence would be the executive being treated the same as the homeless man.
@SeanPLynch @stuartb @nogodsnomasters I'd prefer that the other guy gets his 3.5 seconds sentence.

@nogodsnomasters white collar vs violent crime. He robbed a bank at, what seemed to the teller as, gunpoint. That he only took $100 is inconsequential.

Let me guess-one of them has white skin and the other one doesn’t.
@grayladywriter one of them robbed a bank at "gunpoint" (he mimicked having a weapon)

@stuartb @SeanPLynch @nogodsnomasters
there may be some facts here that cause you to think a very little bit differently

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @stuartb @SeanPLynch @nogodsnomasters Yes, the homeless guy robbed a bank which probably caused trauma and emotional stress for the people involved. Was it more than $3 billion worth of stress? If not then it should have been less than the white collar criminal's sentence. Or the white collar criminal's sentence should have been increased to 15 years.

@toriver @nogodsnomasters I'm honestly surprised that they don't charge for prison so that you end up indebted after you get out. Seems like a natural progression for capitalism.

The CEO didn't steal enough! If he's stolen $100B, he might not have gotten sentenced to any time at all. -
@nogodsnomasters his crime was to feeling remorseful
@felipeB @nogodsnomasters And not wearing a suit while doing it and not stealing $3 billion more.
