On one hand, fuck Russia.

On the other hand...

The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

...I really wish western governments had the balls to impose fines like this on tech companies when they engage in actual fuckery.

russia is such a deeply unserious country

"we need money to fund our special military operation kthxbye"

L0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000L

May as well throw in a unicorn and two perpetual motion machines.

Headline writer should have learned scientific notation

Russia is doing so well with its invasion that it can issue multi-million dollar fines.

Yeah? Well I fine Russia $20 Googol Plex Decillion!

So there!

That's getting close to googleplex rubles!

To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow

I'm not sure that GDP is the best number to use here. That's annual economic activity. I'd think that that wealth would be more-interesting.

According to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_wealth

...total global household wealth in 2022 -- which I imagine is closer to what one wants -- is about $454 trillion.

I'm not sure, but that might exceed the total monetary value of the entire solar system if completely disassembled and sold as raw material. Anybody wanna try and do the math? Cause I know I can't.

Yeah, uhm... let's get into a 1000x more severe depression than 1929 to get the money printed, eh?

I have a feeling there aren't that many dollars

Does anyone know the name of the number with that many zeroes?

Sounds like Russia is already expecting hyperinflation
