minus-squareBizarroland@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up83arrow-down3·1 年前Is the word “slams” appropriate in this context? This is not fucking WWE hell in a cell, this is them fining them for breaking the law. A slam would be the “value of the company”, not a small percentage of the money they made off of breaking the law. You can fine Amazon $130 million. To “slam” Amazon you got to hit them with 130 billion dollars
