increasing the effectiveness of fines

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

why don’t they fine people and companies in percentages of total net income or profits?

because when you fine a company 12.6 million dollars, it doesn’t hurt if they’re making 195 billion dollars. they’d rather pay the fine to scare away the regulators.

i knew all along

my birthday is unknown to my colleagues at work. or is that not awesome? it reminds me of the time we spent trying to determine tina’s birthday. i guess i would probably get a free meal should i reveal my birthday. we didn’t celebrate last year, which is fine by me. i just see it as another day.

days are awesome.
