It isn't good enough. They admitted guilt but government decided a bribe would be acceptable.

I say, let the victim's survivors have a 10 minute go at the guilty and let them pay a suitable bribe. Say $10 for littering.

Well it would be silly to undermine the company you spent billions keeping afloat. That's what happens when you nationalise private industry shitlibs

The law is no problem if you have enough money (and that fact SHOULD trouble moral people). But there is not enough money in existence to solve the problems that ail us. The world is going down the drain. And the epitaph on the tombstone will read, "Cause of Death: Greed and Stupidity". And that's true whether you do such yourself or support it being done indirectly.

At pretty much every stage in history there's been some variation of thought like that. I disagree. I think on a broad timeline the world (i.e., quality of life for the most humans in most ways) is getting better and better.
