Indeed, this seems like less than a nuisance fine for a company that reported more than 13 billion Euro in earnings last year, on over $50 billion Euro in sales. Bayer press release. I wonder what the cost of cancer treatment was for all the people in New York that wouldn’t have gotten cancer but for the sale of Roundup.

Then again, the $10.9 billion settlement in 2020 seems more meaningful. The Guardian

Especially when the settlement is 6.9 million dollars, like that is absolutely insane considering they probably have made billions in profit (not just revenue) on weed killer over the years.

yeah, the fine is so tiny that it’s obviously not going to change the behavior of the company
