For once I hope the fine is not based on revenue

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't there usually minimum fines anyway even if they're based on revenue?

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah probably, just my poor attempt at a joke about X's business rather than a genuine hope.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Heh, I can appreciate that. Just commented so nobody will use that as a justification why fines shouldn't be based on revenue.

Twitter has tons of revenue, they don't have profit.

Who cares? He won’t pay it just like he doesn’t pay the rent lol

That's fine just board up his doors and tell him that he is unable to do any business until the fine is paid and then the offending material will be removed from the building by city provided workers and you take until his check clears the bank in order to finish and allow him back into the building you barricade off every single entrance and prevent entry to the building until you're done just say it's for safety sake we had to take this much time to make sure we did it correctly unlike what you did.......

A fine for the billionaire rich is meaningless in most cases :/
