Re:Two senators say a $5B fine isn’t enough to punish Facebook by Avshalom on Tuesday May 07, 2019 @06:17PM (#19853957)
Fair enough I used 'total revenue' instead of total profit to make it clear which part of the paragraph is was arguing with. However it's not profit margin but overall profit: Walmart might have thin margins but they still made ~20B in profit: they too could absorb a $5B fine. Costco could eat a billion.

But purposely damaging a company is exactly what a fine is for. It's punishment and deterrent.
