Courts need to stop acting like "millions" is enough of a punishment for these companies. $68m is just "the cost of doing business" for a company of this size. They profited far more than they're losing here.

Start fining in numbers that matter.

I desire a little theft. Just a widdle bit tho.

Capitalism is a zero-sum game.

What that means is, there is a limited amount of money in the world. Yes, governments can print more, but there is a balance to it. Printing too much ruins the economy because suddenly everyone can afford everything, which means nothing is worth anything, then prices get raised, hyper inflation, etc etc.

Except businesses expect "constant, exponential growth."

Well, the math doesn't math. You can't have a zero-sum game with constant growth across all sectors. Eventually cannibalization has to happen.

So companies buy each other. Their stockholders make a fortune and others in the industry lose money. The wealth is transferred from one group of stockholders to the other. From one company to the other.

This is the only way it can happen. All companies have to combine eventually for infinite growth to continue, and then one company and/or person will have all the money and power and control.

And we will all work for that company. Eventually.
