Rare is the news item these days that makes me happy. But here's one (found via plastic.com) about California proposing to implement a three strikes law for corporate criminals. After 3 felony convictions, a company may no longer do business in the state of California. After the first two convictions, the company must purchase an ad in California's largest newspaper listing their convictions. This hasn't passed yet, but it's passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, and is on it's way to the Senate. I don't have high hopes that it will be passed, but it will be an amazing triumph for the consumer if it does.
