      Google made 279 billion dollars in 2022. By my calculations $32,000 is about .0000001147% of 279 billion dollars.

      So if someone made $50,000 in 2022 then this fine would be like .007 cents to them. So way less than a penny. Geez.

      ETA: Corrected math, was off by 2 zeros on the percentage.

      Hey, do you want them to up that to 4 million rubles? Keep talking that way and it’s coming. Then they’ll really feel it.

      This feels like an accurate comparison, maybe they forgot how badly the ruble declined?
