When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
The gas company can't be bothered to fix their fuck up until March?! REALLY?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the government gives them a pass?! WTF is going on here?
Too many Californians are smoking too much dope! Get organized! Rally at the gas company building and picket until something is done!
Set the leak ablaze! It's less toxic if its burned off. Watch how fast something gets done!
That company should have been out of business and the mess cleared out weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle yes, the smell is especially noticeable when you leave LA for awhile then come back.
ReplyDeleteLudmillia Jones I agree with the sentiment - but riddle me this - if the company is forced out of business, who ends up picking up the tab for cleaning up the mess?
ReplyDeleteValdis Klētnieks, forfeiture of assets first, and then, if that doesn't cover it, it's a public problem (as everything always ends up being anyway). Suing key execs should also be an option.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle forfeiture of assets first,
ReplyDeleteAgain, has to be approached very carefully. What assets do you seize? Their bank accounts? You just trashed their liquidity and ability to pay short-term expeses. Their corporate headquarters? The resulting chaos will prevent them from organizing a project to fix the problem. Their machinery and hardware? Now they have nothing to fix the problem with.
Like I said, this is compicated.
Valdis Klētnieks We, will pay for the mess, as usual. That company receives corporate subsidies, (Welfare.)
ReplyDeleteValdis Klētnieks, once a corporation is sentenced to death, there is no future presumption of its direct involvement in corrective actions. All its wealth should be moved into public coffers for use first in fixing the issue(s), repaying creditors and helping not-at-fault employees from remaining funds, and then other uses if there are leftovers. This shouldn't happen often, but corporations were not originally designed to last forever...they had specific goals and timelines, at which point they were to be dissolved.
ReplyDeleteoööö😬😬
ReplyDeleteValdis Klētnieks We will end up picking up the tab whether the creeps are out of business or not.
