In general, there is an entirely separate rule of law for businesses. That's why regulations were created. Instead of holding a corporations decision makers and investors criminally liable with existing laws like fraud ("false advertising", etc), or manslaughter (poisoning and killing their workers, customers, or environment), they created an entirely separate rule of law mostly based on laughable punitive damages with limits that don't significantly impact investors. The entire system is geared to suppress, oppress, and exploit workers for profit.
But companies get treated like individuals when it comes to free speech and giving money to political campaigns.
Seems like double dipping
That's an incredibly kind way to describe this apalling situation.
