it never is. fines should be a percentage of the value of the company, not just some sum.

Value can easily be manipulated, it really should be based on 15% ish of their gross income

Or value, or XYZ whatever is largest.

In theory I agree, in practice I despise laws that are needlessly wordy, and including a whichever is larger clause will add on an unnecessary element since gross income can only be abused with tax credit shenanigans which aren't very over the top, and if I had my way wouldn't exist at all(fairy tale I know)
