Agreed.

I only mentioned my range because then perhaps it would move to a different column in their budget.

25 million is nothing to Amazon.

A couple of billion might move it into an enterily new spreadsheet and maybe even precipitate a meeting to figure out who needs to be fired. Maybe.

Amazon makes between $53 million and $54 million an hour. This is the first Google search result, but even if it's exaggerated, 25 million doesn't even leave the tiniest mark... It's sad...

Lol, my life would be over, if i were to be fined 25 million

But you'd be fine if you were fined one hour of minimum wage, likely!
