Almost 100 billion revenue last year.

250 million of 100 billion is what… 0.25%?

Yeah. That’s nothing to them.

    it never is. fines should be a percentage of the value of the company, not just some sum.

    Value can easily be manipulated, it really should be based on 15% ish of their gross income

    In theory I agree, in practice I despise laws that are needlessly wordy, and including a whichever is larger clause will add on an unnecessary element since gross income can only be abused with tax credit shenanigans which aren't very over the top, and if I had my way wouldn't exist at all(fairy tale I know)

    You'd need to do the math on net profit. Gross revenue is a pretty meaningless figure on its own.
