      yea

      This is the equivalent of being fined $20.55 after you fraud your way to $100,000

        Or being fined $0.02 for stealing $100, which is closer to an amount that I can comprehend

        Instead, if a worker steals $100 out of the register, they go to jail and pay fines exceeding what was stolen

        I don't know where the line came from, but it was something along the lines of ”If the punishment is a fine, then it's not illegal for rich people to do it”. Or rich corporations, but amerikkka already considers them people.

        de-drama — Our real life has always been the parody, madame! A nation born and bred from a farce, endlessly daring itself to delve deeper into the absurd. Certainly a mentality worth adopting!
