    fines could work if they actually make continuing to pollute unprofitable and the fine money funds a bunch of remediation that isn’t profitable…

    ok, so fines aren’t going to work, who wants to play minecraft?

      right, i agree with ya. I’m just saying with full-throated confidence that even if they were levied? They definitely won’t do that. not what we’ve seen, when fines actually were levied.

      So like, my opinion is: if they are gonna do a study assigning a specific amount of damage; but it’s just putting a giant number onta what everyone who’s paying attention already knows?

      May as well put it in terms that matter to those folks like you n me, the only ones who actually give a shit.

      fuck the moneymen, they don’t care, so couch study terms in real numbers for the folks that do. feel me?
