      At least it’s not a class action lawsuit, where lawyers would take 50-70% of the settlement first.

        the culture of consoomtion, it is fucking disgusting.

        while i aint gonna pretend that precarious economic conditions are direct result of over consumption, it surely does not fucking help.

        stop fucking buying shite you don’t need and spending money you don’t have because some fucking twat said you need it.

        before anything changes for the better, every one will need to fix themselves.

      No, it means they will double down on it, since the fine is so small that it is irrelevant.
