Comment on FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks

It’s the cost of doing business. Hell, if I could rob a bank for 10 million dollars, and the fine was a million dollars (or 9 million), I’d probably do it too!
If the cost for breaking the law is a set amount, it technically only affects poor people. There’s a rich guy in Bergen, Norway who received more than 50 parking fines in less than a year, because for him, the fine is the parking cost. It would be like I’d pay 1 cent for parking wherever I want. I wish the government would be able to take away his driver’s license for this. He’s also blocked trans from being able to continue their drive. Fucking asshole.
