A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
That's why I advocate for fines and penalties scaled to income and net worth, both personal and corporate. If you're poor you should still be able to eat after paying a speeding ticket, but if you're a billionaire you should be knocked down a couple of million for the same offense.
but seriously though, notpayforfuel challenge sounds dope. That could lead to the zero carz society.
Something that actually works is buying farm diesel.
Until they break out a blacklight or dip your tank
This is true, but it is actually possible as opposed to somehow magically dispensing fuel from a pump without paying.
And they love to do that in rural areas.
Well, you can break out the black light and dip their tank, if you know what I mean

Or tech industry
Or capitalism
Surely the fine is in addition to also having to pay for the stolen fuel?
And not just the normal price, but usually with a factor of 2 or 3 involved.
In reality yes, hence the title
That's a of total!
This loophole will be corrected before anything JP Morgan currently gets away with a fine on.
Ok 85 usd, you still have a civil case incoming and they usually get treble aka 3x the price of what you clipped.
I foresaw the iran war. I swapped to an EV about a week before prices doubled in my area. I keep doing the math, and ive saved about $300 -- and it only cost me $7166!
