Tbh, I don’t care what the cost is if it means the end of fossil fuels and the government subsidized fossil fuel industry. I’d gladly give $5k today out of my own pocket to move forward from this BS!

It should be possible to go after the millionaires filing for bankruptcy and getting the restoration costs out of their deep pockets.theh should be sued and considered directly responsible of the damage they caused

The millionaires aren't filing for bankruptcy; it's the companies. An inherent feature of corporations is limited liability - you can't go after the personal assets of the investors for the sins of the company. It *might* be possible to target management, but that requires that there be political support. If you want that, you're going to need to create it.

As long as pollution is treated as an externality rather than an integral part of doing business, this is going to keep happening.

Consider EPA regulations on site-remediation.

While the companies may hurtle toward bankruptcy, their assets remain below the ground.

It’s true. This is how anything in the environmental industry works, unfortunately. A facility might run out of compliance for years and then when it’s time for the law to strike down they close up and abandon because they suddenly “can’t afford it.” That’s why the energy and chemical sectors have $1.6 billion in taxes, because the government cleans up their messes.

you can leave out the "environmental" part there. It's how capitalism works, at least nowadays. Almost none of the jobs in the western world actually *produce something* and result in profit. Profit almost always was created because the costs for environment and society resulting from natural exploitation don't need to be paid, because Gaia can't sue.

It's the corporation which did the crime, the poor innocent executives who had total control over the corporation are helpless victims in all of this. They ask that you not judge them in this difficult time for them, and offer campaign contributions to any member of congress who sympathises with their plight.

Please keep in mind, we don't get our rights from the government. Rather, the government's only legitimate powers are given to it, by the people, that is, the consent of the governed.

The Constitution does not give rights to the people -- read it, you'll see. The Constitution enumerates the few legitimate powers the government has (along with describing the executive, legislative, and judicial branches).

The Bill of Rights does not give us our rights. Rather, it expressly prohibits the government from violating our rights and from seizing powers not specifically granted to it.

So, where do our rights come from? We are born with them. If/when the government becomes abusive enough, we have the right, the duty to replace it.

Keep that in mind.

VampireVlad 2 hs ago

I wholeheartedly agree, but at the same time our forefathers have consented to institutionalize everything under the protection of this government that we're having. They made sure we wouldn't think about replacing it for rational and practical reasons, but instead constantly appeal to said institutions, cast our vote every electoral cycle and then hope for the best. My grandparents have seen it happen when they were children, when you get a communist and atheist government: when communists take over, there are no God-given rights. You're basically at the mercy of their ideology and rely on your ability to make friends within the higher-ranked officials. Hope you're going to do better in America, it would be a shame to let it all go to waste and have it replaced by a tyranny of communists.

Just because somebody is breaking the speed limit it does not mean there is no speed limit. Similarly, people in Hong Kong have rights. When some Chinese dickhead is VIOLATING their rights, they still have those rights - they cannot be taken from us, but they can be violated. I hope we do better, too, but most people are intellectually lazy, weak-minded, and brainwashed. They probably won't bother to make a stand until it's way beyond too late... unless there are food shortages, for example. So, it's important to know about our rights and to stick up for people who are having their rights violated.
