And this is why I laugh at libertarians. They always seem to think markets wouldn’t do potentially damaging things to themselves or customers, but history always points to profit as the driving factor, and if harm can happen alongside profits, so be it.

So, less than 100M per corp? Chump change.

That amount is basically telling them to keep doing it. It's barely even a cost of doing business. So, can we confirm if they actually ever stopped, since there was no punishment?
