Newsom walked right into the classic Fox News trifecta of 1) 'lawlessness', associated with 2) anti-business sentiment, taking place in 3) California. He could spend $20B and he won't satisfy the outrage machine (because it can't be) while destroying lives and wasting tax-payer money in the process.

You hit the nail on the head Jeff. If the media was out in front of wage theft like they are on organized retail theft then perhaps $267 million could have gone to prosecuting wage theft.
With organized retail theft, it is the lackeys who cannot defend themselves in court who commit the crimes and receive the punishments, not the organizers.
Large corporations do steal wages. Small business owners do too and likely more under the radar. Like the retail theft lackeys, many small business owners may not have the means to defend themselves in court. In a perfect world, the size of the perpetrator should not make a difference. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect world and Newsome would have his political head chopped off by the media if he went after small businesses.
