It is still insufficient, but it’s also disingenuous to use the profit of their global operations to say the fine is a small cost of doing business to their California warehouses.
That is absolutely insane. Completely bonkers. They’re making more money in one day than most businesses have made over the course of the founder’s entire life, throughout the entire history of the world.
That seemed a bit ridiculous, so I checked. You’re right, except it’s not just revenue, it’s profit. They make about $900k profit every minute.
So that would be around $2.40 fine for someone making 50k/year
Literal pocket change.
Just think of how many laws I can break at $2.40 a pop!
I still wouldn’t be able to, since I spend all my money on my crippling avocado toast addiction.
Just be racist to the cashier when purchasing the avocado and in their absolute distress, walk out with it without paying.
Not sure if that’d be $2.40 or $4.80 but might be the cheaper way to fuel the addiction.

Does the fine have to be paid from profits made in California? If not I don’t see why this is relevant, other than semantics.
If it costs a company more to do something than not do it:
Then they won’t do it.
To make a truly genuine argument you would need to use their profit from abuse in warehouses in California, where they were fined.
