    It is still insufficient, but it’s also disingenuous to use the profit of their global operations to say the fine is a small cost of doing business to their California warehouses.

      Does the fine have to be paid from profits made in California? If not I don’t see why this is relevant, other than semantics.

        If it costs a company more to do something than not do it:

        Then they won’t do it.

        To make a truly genuine argument you would need to use their profit from abuse in warehouses in California, where they were fined.
