    I don’t know, there is something to be said for scaling with regards to income. We’ve seen plenty of examples where rich folk can get away with anything because they can just pay up and poor folk have their lives destroyed for small mistakes. In some situations it is taken into consideration.

    However I do agree the actual damages should be covered. But you can’t tell me Mitchell actually had hundreds of thousands of dollars in actual damage, that’s some BS.

      yeah but that should only appy to the perpetrator, not the victim
      if you do apply it to the victim it should be the other way round, if they’re poor they should get more money, not less

      i don’t see in what universe it would make sense to give the victim of defamation less money because they’re not popular
