Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Good. But they should be taken for everything they have.

What does it take for a company to be dismantled for crimes in the US?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago

Doing crimes that rock the boat instead of being business as usual

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

active invasion and occupation by socialist forces

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

If my only consequence for organizing death squads was was to pay 0.5% of my annual income, I have a few people I’d be bumping off too.

38 million? data-laughing

good to know that we never got rid of blood price, but only for companies

That’s the point of fines, they only punish little people. Corporations and the rich just absorb them like there nothing.

[–] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Yep. For capitalists fines are just the cost of doing business. If that cost is low enough, they will break the associated laws.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Yearly revenue... 31 billion dollars. 38 million is nothing for destabilising a country for decades.

They make 154k per employee, apparently... Not surprising when you consider they're paying their plantation workers 400 dollars a month.

Any problem that can be resolved by money isn't a problem for these companies.

Spare change
