    I hope that the discharged workers prevail. That much said, the monetary punishment meted out to Google won’t even amount to a mere fraction of Google’s profits. It’s ridiculous the power that the wealthy have over us.

      Seriously. Fines against corporations need to be a significant percentage of their revenue. Also executives should face jail time when their corporation breaks the law.

      The status quo of corporate fines is just the cost of doing business.

      • Completely agree. Higher fines, jail time, mandatory cancellation of executive bonuses/raises/stock options. And it starts at the top no throwing middle managers under the bus as sacrificial lambs.

      I agree completely. It’s clearly retaliation. The fines should be presented as percentages of net revenue. Make it more painful to do this and it’ll stop. But right now, it’s cheaper just to pay the pittance that will be the settlement.

      I mean, they kinda do? But they’re also pretty outnumbered and no more resistant to baseball bats than the average bloke. Just throwing that out there.
