    Yup, the fine needs to be much higher. People could have died because of this.

    The entire point of fines is that they’re punitive. They’re supposed to HURT. To make you change your behavior and not do the Bad Thing again.

    If fines don’t even make a dent in your daily profits, then laws become nothing more than suggestions. They become just a cost of doing business.
