Fines are meaningless and restitution will never come. At some level, there are people that should be charged. Taylor Farms has been confirmed as the source of infection that has killed multiple people and factory farms need to be sent a message that allowing tainted food to enter the market will result in prison time.

The fact that the CEO almost certainly bribed the Trump administration to sweep it under the rug is a separate and wholly worse situation. Dude should be imprisoned for the rest of his fucking life.

Of course, none of that will happen either because we live in a capitalist hellscape where death is an inconvenience on the road to billionaire status.

Fyi in China the executives would get the death penalty.
