Might as well charge them 32 cents, that fine isn't even a poke much less a slap.

Oh noes! How are they ever going to pay that with $80 billion in yearly revenue??? Someone think about the shareholders, for fucks sake! (That is 0.03875%, btw.)

The obvious solution is revenue based fines, but what legislator is voting for that?
