Would you give me 2% of your salary if I asked you to? This isn’t intended to fix every problem, right away. This is a single measure. By the way, the fine you referenced is also calculated using a percentage of revenue: https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust_en

2% of an individual's salary isn't the same as 2% of a megacorp's revenue. Also, I 100% would if it meant 12k people kept their jobs.

I donated 1% of my salary to a charity for a while, which I got back via tax deductions. Some guy transferring some of his wealth to some organization has nothing to do with a corporation trying to cut expenses during a downturn, though. It's a weak strawman.
