Doesn't even amount to the taxes they paid the month the fine was issued. It's barely the cost of doing business.

    Yeah, these ineffective fines need to stop. perhaps the following would work better:

    1st offense: warning, public humiliation, reparations to the wronged. 2nd offense: meaningfully huge fine 3rd offense: even bigger fine and c-level prosecutions. 4th offense: stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability. 5th offense: public tar and feathering.

    Counter:

    First intentional offense: permanent stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability.

    First unintentional offense: meaningfully huge fine, equal to no less than 25% of annual revenue.

    Second intentional offense: won't happen, due to the first intentional offense permanent stop order.

    Second unintentional offense: permanent stop work order and c-level prosecutions and personal liability.

    The only way to fix this is to make it hurt from day one.
