This just ignores the reason that corporations exist in the first place, to shield people from personal liability. There is a mechanism by which you can go after that called "piercing the corporate veil" but it is an extremely high bar to hit.

Which is the problem. As parent rightly pointed out, lack of personal liability is exactly why corporations pull this kind of bullshit. The solution is to lower the bar for holding individuals, particularly executives, personally responsible for the actions of the organizations they control.
