Last year they made over $81 billion in revenue and a net income of over $15 billion.

This is yet another case of "the cost of doing business" to them. Just over than 2% of their net income, which mind you, they can write that off in taxes if they pay any at all.

These fines are ridiculous. They need to be at a level that hurts the companies so they don't think twice before doing dumb shit.

I guess the lives of over 6000 deaths is worth just shy if $100 dollars per head.
