aka 0.03% of their reported profits for the 2023 fiscal year. This isn't even a slap on the hand or a penny found under the couch. This is a grain of sand on the beaches of a planet on the other side of the galaxy.

Would be fun to fine companies by percentage with increasing values for repeat offenses.

While we're at it it would be cool to peg CEO pay to the lowest position available so that if the CEO wants a raise everyone else gets a proportionate increase.
