In a democracy that enjoys freedom of speech maybe. If speaking up means that your children are taken by the state while you are in prison, then silence is the best choice.

So is the plan to annex Donbas and then declare all combat in Donbass an attack on Russia as a justification for further escalation?

Maybe a robot operater can clean multiple restrooms at once. > Still, I don’t think that people would be happy with a camera operated robot sniffing around their restrooms. ;) I wouldn't probably, but if it means not having to clean

That seems like a better idea. I guess the CleanBot operators would earn more than local restroom cleaners.

Why not $700M or $7000M to make a dent? If these companies see the fines just as cost of doing business, then the fines need to rise to the point where they make the business unattractive.
