Pennies. These people are billionaires, they should pay fines.

Yup, it should 100% of revenue of the false product. Redistributed to canadian food producers. And the execs who green lit this should be thrown in prison

@T00l_shed

Accountability, responsibility.

Sweden and others have a sliding fine with no top end, based on the income of those being fined.

A baker speeding 90 in a 70, gets a 154.00, but the billionaire doing 90 in a 70 gets fined $14,675.00.

So as to make the pain of the fine equal for all.

Th billionaire fine needs at least 2-4 more zeros to make the point.

@fourish

You can look up the fines in Scandinavian countries. Its quite sane and satisfactory.

They aren't fined too much, just enough so it makes sense to not speed anymore.

I was going off the numbers in this post. $15,000 is a rounding error to a billionaire. Doubt they’d even care. Just pay it and speed.

If the number is accurate I stand by my comment. If the number is inaccurate that’s in the hands of the person I replied to.
