- 6510 3y agoIt might be different if you manage to get your competitor fined 500k
- KptMarchewa 3y ago500k is fraction of train cost. Eventual fine, to work properly, would need to be in hundreds of millions.
- account42 3y agoI think the 500k was a reference to the fine the third-party service company (SPS Mieczkowski) had to pay due to the failure that it now turns out was intentionally caused by Newag.
- jnsaff2 3y agoI think that there are two separate issues here: 1. train manufacturer bricking trains - malice and monopolism as you say 2. prosecutors failing to bring court cases and convictions for train manufacturers - incompetence or more likely corruption.
- ska 3y agoThere is corruption everywhere (though obviously not uniformly distributed). It requires active, dynamic efforts to counteract. If you don't see some evidence of successful prosecution, that itself is informative.
- _hcuq 3y agoThe corruption would be if this is not punished. By for example Newag getting a massive fine.
- KptMarchewa 3y agoIt's a criminal case. Money is not enough.
