All employees should lose their jobs because an incompetent engineer made a mistake? What’s with some people and irrational mob justice? Does it make them feel good or what…



An orderly revocation of a corporate charter isn't mob justice.

People calling for companies to be dissolved are pretty likely to be calling for an orderly process (if they weren't interested in an orderly process they'd likely be talking about using violence on the executives or shareholders or whatever).
