That’s the way it ALWAYS is. Some corporation does something terrible to consumers, and the government fines them a fraction of the profit from the terrible behavior, and then celebrates with a press release about how great they are.
Meanwhile the consumer is still screwed, the corporation still made a profit on their corruption, and the government got their beak wet.
When we take it back, these sorts of corporate fines should be much more onerous (minimum $1 billion per count), including confiscation of entire corporations and entire estates, and the money placed in the “America First Fund” (irony intended), to be the seed money for all the Social program we’re going to launch - health care, college/trade school, pre-K, student loan forgiveness, UBI, etc. Use these fines to directly help the people that were hurt by corporate misadventure: the Citizens.
“Fixing America on their dime, while punishing them for their crime” could be the program’s slogan.
