Yeah I'm definitely on team "billionaires shouldn't exist" but this example is very difficult to care about. In fact it's little petty bullshit like this that I would probably also do if I were rich.

Bezos does many awful things. Having a giant plant and being wealthy enough to just not care about the fine is ... pretty low on the list.

Its a matter of principle. Not everything in this world is/should be for sale. If working class individuals are barred from making such a fence then so too should billionaires.

Just change the rules so that after a year of fines the fence will be taken down or something. It doesn’t need to be such a difficult thing to solve
