    Even the 8.5m was just a tiny tax on doing business

    Why were these fuckers not jailed for years?

      you get what you ask for. there is still a large chunk of people in the US who think that taxing and punishing big corporations are ultimately bad for the low-income people (cuz they put folks ta woerk)

      Just a reminder that there were harsher penalties for downloading a single song.

      Although, the Trump admin did explicitly say they were going to de-prioritize prosecuting white-collar crime.

      Not enough political will from the masses. Too busy being mad about immigrants and trans people.

      Also the police are the enthusiastic bootlickers of capital, and people don’t want to get shot at after marching into a CEO’s office and throwing him out the 20th story window.
