Oh, wasn’t saying it didn’t hurt, you don’t have to remember me of my years making $12k/year as a student on top of student loans and debt to survive lol. But it shouldn’t even be equivalent to how much a $242 fine can hurt. A $242 fine is equivalent to what, a speeding ticket? The crime committed is orders of magnitude worse, yet the penalty doesn’t nearly scale up. Corporations are getting off easy for the scale of the crimes committed, time and time again.
