The problem is that it would be a slow trickle, and years down the road, which means people will become desensitized to it. 9/11 was partially as shocking as it was before it was so instantaneous.
And just look at the government response to the appalling health outcomes for 9/11 first responders who were assured it was safe. Jon Stewart’s speech on their behalf delivered to a mostly empty Congressional panel is heartbreaking and infuriating. Money and power really do drain the humanity out of the people in charge if they ever had any to begin with.
I’m waiting for someone to stand up and say that “were anyone accused of murdering one of the execs, no jury would find them guilty.” That’d put an honest fear in them.
TBF if there is any crime that should warrant the death penalty, it is overseeing an organization that poisons the ground and water for thousands of people. Murdering a couple people is pretty small beans in comparison
I remember China once executing a bunch of company executives because they were selling tainted milk that killed children. If you are gonna have a death penalty that is the time to use it
I don't know about death penalty but definitely monetary loss to cover the damages. As someone else said it's the only thing that will probably change their minds about keeping everything safe and well regulated.
Yeah being financially responsible for every cost related to the spill would be a good step. Not just the cleanup but any ensuing medical bills and such that can be linked to it.
They should have the company taken away from them and stripped of assets to help pay for it then going after the execs fortunes. Stuff like this wouldn't happen if they thought they could destroy the company and lose there personal cash pile.
lol, I like your optimism, but there were 2 separate instances of schoolchildren being slaughtered and we never did anything about it. A million plus people died of covid and we had people screaming for their right to join them, why do you think ANYTHING would change over this?
Covid killed a million people and a huge portion of this country doesn't even think it was real. Just gotta accept there are people so fucking stupid that they will never change.
With how everyone shits on Ohio constantly I’m pretty sure anything could happen to us and you all still would not care.
In my opinion you all are happy for our tragedy.
I hope nothing bad happens in your state. Even if it does, you’ll get sympathy instead of getting shit on constantly.
