thats all. seems low. is it just the cost to repair?
The article does say “and possible jail time” but from the ending paragraphs it sounds like the other tourists that carved their initials years ago just got a similar fine and a mark on their records.
It does seem low and I wonder if it scales at all or is a standard fine? At that rate, Jeff Bezos could go carve an entire autobiography into the place for an amount of money he wouldn’t even notice losing.
oh I forgot about the countries that scale fines with income. Sort wish mine did.
Yeah but rich people have always been able to break the law without repercussions.
