Whatever they fine him is just the cost of materials
And it should be several hundred times the cost of replacing that sand, so that it's a more economically sound move to not break the law and destroy the environment while they're at it.
If there is sand to replace it with.
Yes, everything is awful.
as with everything else, we'll start fixing it when it's too late to do anything
the fine should be a percentage of his net worth. 10% sounds healthy
10%?
Minimum wage is $15080. A speeding ticket can be $209-$409. That’s 2%. He should be fined a percentage of of his wealth equal to (cost of his douchebaggery)/(minimum wage yearly)*100. Multiply by 10 for a fine
for this guy, 10% is at least $100,000,000.00 for this fine.
And he's still a billionaire who can do whatever the fuck he wants
what are you proposing, death? christ
Not opposed to it, fuck those greedy bastards.
Start with the cost of reparing/fixing/whatevering the beach; then add a fine based on income. 10% of monthly income sounds about right for this.
same with financial crimes. they seize any profits and then fin the shit out of them, based on their earnings for a given period.
speeding tickets, same. monthly income percentage.
Better yet, require public access to wherever that sand was placed!
Haha would be amazing if just a group of beach bums set up camp on the public sand.
I think it's only fair they fine him the maximum potential value of the materials.
Sand made of silicon, which is used to make CPUs
You can spend 25 grand on an intel Xeon weighing about 50g
A scoop of sand is probably 50kg = 25 million
How many scoops were taken?
Plus a couple dozen million
