And remember kids...... it's only illegal if you get caught

This is uncomfortably true. I’ve seen many a story where the legal fines are a part of the budget

"Uncomfortably true"

Exactly. I've seen it in action, especially regarding employee rights and treatment. Or at the anon🗝️ymous bank I worked at 600 years ago they used this sort of math to determine how many customers they'd lose by making false promises and overcharging. A certain number won't know or bother to look into illegal actions, and those are an evil business' favorites.

Now I need a scalding shower, perhaps with a steel wool "loofa" after remembering that place. FTOR I quit when they insisted that I lie to customers. Told them exactly that in the exit interview. HR lady did an amazing gymnastics display trying to convince me to use a description other than "lie".

Until the fines have real meaning, this IS the calculus.
