*better than people.

Actual people suffer repercussions from crimes, including penalties that inhibit their ability to earn money - while corporations have a layer of protection real people don’t have that makes it generally illegal to prevent them from making money. Corporations, even when they commit murder (corporate or human) face the equivalent of misdemeanours, simple fines, or are expected to punish themselves.
