Its amazing how fines for businesses are still at 1950s levels but individual (none rich folk) fines have kept up with inflation since the 80s.

It's almost like corporations and the wealthy have outsized control over politics.

Fines are literally only for poor people. They've done studies on it. Shit is crazy.

Yep, for the wealthy it's just the cost of doing business.

I asked our AI overlords for an appropriate punishment:

The company executives have to spend the weekend acting as city gardeners, complete with typical gardening attire, tending to the local parks and trees - ensuring the community that they're committed to their "root-level" duties.

Every day that we live with AI the more I realize they should be replacing our politicians and executives of major corporations.

I dont care if I have to bow to R2D2 one day, that sounds better than the dystopian hell hole we have now.
