      The only way to damage the big companies is with proportional fines.

      You destroy the environment? 50% of your income gained in every country goes to those countries. I don’t know why this isn’t being advocated anywhere because measuring income is easy, the company has to do taxes and if they don’t, 75% fine with the profits correctly calculated.

      Just bleed them dry.
