    567,000,000 ÷ 228,248,000,000 × 365 × 24 = 21.76

    Exactly 21 hours, 45 minutes, 36 seconds of revenue for them. They literally already made that back since the ruling was made and they haven’t even cut a check yet. Cool, I’m sure that’ll totally change things.

        I guess it depends on where in the world that person lives. In the state where I grew up, it’d be more like fining a McDonald’s employee $45, at least in terms of raw income. But if you’re talking about how punitive the measure feels, I think it’s more like a $5 fine. Meta budgets and lives in quarters and years; McDonald’s employees budget and live in hours and weeks.

        Great way to bring it down to earth, though.

      Revoke their corporate charter for half a year so they can’t do business in the country. That’ll make em sit up in their seats.
