Thank you for pointing out once again that there are two systems of justice in this country. Doesn't do wonders for my mental health knowing that nothing will be done about it until global warming finally finishes us off.

Fines only approach has been common practice for all the disgusting violations of the corporations for a long time. I'm pretty sure they go ahead and do the violations because the the amounts they are fined when their crimes are brought into light is peanuts compared to what they make in profits by violating the laws. Look at what Johnson & Johnson had to pay for poisoning the children, it's pocket change for them. Just as you said, look at how they treat poor people for even a minor traffic violation and compare it to the enormity of the crimes committed by the corporations. It's nowhere a just system that we have.
