Same with the corporations.
“Oh, our illegal businesses practices that made us $20 billion is gonna cost us $100 million in fines? Gee, thats a really big fine, state, but you gotta do what you gotta do.”

Of course. It goes against the interest of Shareholders
Which is why it’s a shame that the punitive damages in the McDonald’s hot coffee case weren’t kept at two days worth of coffee sales.
One of the companies I’m invested in just paid like a lol slap on the wrist $6M fine for having a slush fund with bags of money to bribe people for business deals. This is an $8B company that generates like $1.2B a year in profits.

The Trump campaign, it further contended, had failed to keep an “arm’s length relationship” with American Made Media Consultants, citing Insider’s reporting in December 2020 that Jared Kushner, the then-president’s son-in-law and advisor, helped create a shell company that secretly paid the president’s family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash.
Zero penalties/fines, nothing ever happening to these fucks

Wanna help those of us who dont know the context?
Brett Favre earned $137 million in career salary (excluding endorsements), but apparently needed Mississippi to divert $5 million of welfare funds to build a volleyball center at Southern Miss, where his daughter was on the team.
