While I’d love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn’t make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.
In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable “cost of doing business”.
“As you can see your honor, we actually lost 400 million last year. Negative profit. It looks like you actually owe us money when you calculate the proposed fine…”
Surly u can make it the value of a percentage of shaires. The primary purpose of any company is the keep the shairholders happy either pay ur fines or fail ur primary purpose.
When will punishment stop being attached to a hard number and be a percentage of the company’s worth. Shits maddening.

I don’t even care you are being sarcastic, blocked.
Enjoy being an ignorant and poorly comprehending prick instead of taking a joke ig
LMFAO that was easily the funniest exchange I’ve seen on lemmy
