meanwhile, the eu: well we can’t jail a company, so fuck you, if you break the gdpr you’re liable for 4% of your yearly revenue (not profit, that can be cheated)
fines do work but only if they’re relative to how much you make
My geography teacher had a nice saying:
The Constitution is a contract between civilian and government about their obligations to each other.
Civilian must obey its rules, government on the other hand can choose to not to.
I once told someone they couldn’t park their Ferrari behind the restaurant I was working in because it was the place where the trucks would unload the food and he would get a fine.
He just replied with “it’s ok, the fine is just what the parking lot is charging me to park there then”. I said I would call the towing company and he said “ok, I’ll just Uber home and pay to get my car back”.
I then thought that I wasn’t paid enough on my job to deal with that shit so I gave up. Honestly, having a lot of money in this world is like cheating.
This is the part where you key the biggest penis onto the side of the Ferrari.
Unless the fines were a percentage of your total worth or something?
