  Yeah I’d agree that there is a lack of enforcement in some aspects but moreso a lack of regulation and legislation in others.

  There needs to be a better commitment to addressing trends in capitalism than reacting to their overstepping.

    I’m 70 years old and that still hasn’t happened. Bring back the guillotine, I say. Anything less is just the price of a permit.

    These fines worked in 1957.

    They don’t work today.

    Its not an overreach to increase fines to a relative point commiserate with current earnings, so that they can actually harm a company and by doing so discourage future illicit behavior.

    To try and claim otherwise is some corpo rat bullshit.
