A monetary fine for breaking a law is really just a price tag.
We even see this in Purdue Pharma and Boeing. Where they made much much more money than what they had to pay in fines.

True. I've always said when the penalty for breaking the law is only a fine then it's really only a crime for the poor, not the rich.

I’ve never understood why fines/penalties are less than the profit made. They should be punitive

If I commit xyz crime and make $50k and the fine is $30k, I’m still up $20k. The fine should have a floor of 120%

Purdue is in serious trouble though. Boeing will go bankrupt if this happens again - but the executive team will be fine, to your point

Trust me Boeing will never fail. It also develops and sells rockets, missiles, air defense systems, etc.

Correct. The Swedish practice of speeding fines proportionate to income is a fine one.

As I once read, "all men are created equal" only applies upwards.

Want to know something scary? The airlines do this with maintenance.

It’s cheaper to pay the fine than continuously staff good maintenance people. Enjoy your travel consultants!

Remember this lesson from your single serving friends https://youtu.be/SiB8GVMNJkE

breaking the law is just a cost of doing business

It’s also a public chastisement from the government which imo is an admission of guilt. And that can lead to brand deterioration…

I imagine the saying “if it ain’t Boeing I ain’t going” isn’t as prevalent in the aeronautics industry since the 737 crashes

Did you forget about the lawsuits?

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
