30 millon? How many minutes does it take Jeff to print that money?

That's less than their pocket money. There should be some zeros added. BEFORE the comma, of course. It must hurt. Currently it's just a question of "how much violations can we afford before it breaks even". It must be each. single. fee. hurting.

My, that is as if one gets fined USD 5 for stealing a car while being allowed to keep the car. Yuck. That's not a fee. It's a lame cover of "we're doing something". Grrrr…
