    Because corporate personhood is different than person personhood?

    I always find it interesting to take corporate fines, translate them to a % of gross income and then apply it to my salary to put it in perspective.

    Here’s the best part, a basic 1st offense traffic ticket is usually way more expensive. (I assume a ticket would be around $250 not counting the increased insurance rates.)

      Yes, in the sense that the former is fictional bullshit regardless of what the increasingly-illegitimate Supreme Court says.
