    A fine is just an calculable price to do something wrong, businesses love them, from the classic study:

    https://rady.ucsd.edu/_files/faculty-research/uri-gneezy/fine.pdf

    Parents used to arrive late to collect their children, forcing a teacher to stay after closing time. We introduced a monetary fine for late-coming parents. As a result, the number of late-coming parents increased significantly.

        This is the correct answer. If the fine was $1000 for every time you picked your kid up late you can guarantee parents would never arrive late. Same goes for businesses. The fine just needs to be in the hundreds of millions to billions. They’d change their tune.
