Amazing how you can just pay some money and get away with destroying countless lives. The Soviets at least had the decency to send some people to the gulag.

- hackernewds 3y agoNot to mention a fine that is not an existential threat. 3M has grown massively in comparison to $10B. Recently 50% of the US tap water supply was found to be tainted with PFAs <link pending>
- vlovich123 3y agoNot sure what you’re romanticizing here, but Soviets were not sending the people who would be at fault here to the gulags. It was political prisoners, counterculture agitators (artists, satirists, etc), criminals, rich people who wouldn’t go along, etc. Politically connected people wouldn’t end up there.
- spaceman_2020 3y agoIt’s a joke about the upside down interpretation of law in either of the systems. In Soviet Russia, you sent your underlings to the gulag. In America, you just pay a fine. Neither of which is proper justice.
