Reply #6: Is this satire?

Sounds like George Orwell.

Just a couple thoughts off the top of my head. Let's say a corporation fails whatever this new Grand Jury decides are the guidelines for being allowed to do business, and shuts down the corporation. What do you tell the 1500 men and women who work there? Sorry, we've shut down the company?

And it sounds like the standards of compliance would be so vague that companies would be at the mercy of this new super-jury. How would anyone ever define what "social responsibility" is, and who gets to make that decision? And you want people to go to prison without the benefit of a trial by jury?

Lastly, you think too many corporations go overseas now? Just wait till you pass this and watch the remaining companies move out of the US. No one would do business here if some arbitrary body could simply seize the company's assets and shut it down.
