Punishments need to be proportionate. Executing people for stealing hub caps may well reduce the incidence of that but that doesn't make it OK.
Misleading cancellation messaging just isn't that big of a deal. I really wish people would focus on the severity of what happened rather than just saying "it's not enough" just because they seemingly hate Uber.
People's personal dislike of a company or person is not a basis for determining a punishment.
- nikanj 4y agoIncidentally, countries like Finland issue fines based on your income - and if you're rich, speeding nets you a cool six-digit fine https://www.boredpanda.com/finland-progressive-speeding-tickets-fines/ https://www.boredpanda.com/finland-progressive-speeding-tick... The US also believes in punitive damages, i.e. "We fine you $1000 for what you did, and then add $1000,000,00 because you don't really care about $1000"
