I would think that exploding elephants would get lots of attention. Hell, Exploding whales get millions of views on YouTube.

"External Costs"
Bullshit taxes and other charges designed to line the govenment's pockets.

Who highers the middle managers?
The Executives.
Who hires the Executives?
The Board (more or less)
Who hires the Board?
The Stockholders.
You hurt the Stock holders, they in turn hurt the board, they in turn hurt the executives and they in turn hurt the middle managers.
In order for shit to flow downhill, you have to top load it and technically, the stockholders are the top.
The point of "punitive damages" is to punish the company...duh. But, how do you do that?
Just taking their money isn't enough, especially in the case of these companies. You can take astronomical amounts and it would be a drop in the bucket to them. What is $400 million to a company with billions in cash?

All those jobs will be going to H-1B visa owners.

When it comes to non-profits and raising money, not being approved is synonymous with not being denied.
It is a matter of known fact that they used search terms design to find conservative organizations. Not structure, not who's name was on what, but simply just what was in the name.
Your sixth grade education has been wasted on you.
That's because they want cheap Arugula.
