You've put it so aptly there's nothing more to say. It's really all about the money for these polluters. It's as though our hands are tied, but I still believe the fights mean something. We have to continue fighting and speaking up. Maybe one day, it'll be like mandating law firms to take up pro bono work. You know, like mandating these companies to clean up after themselves or there'll be consequences. I do think it's only the law, coupled with punitive measures (excluding settlement) that'd turn things around.

You are absolutely right. I live in a country where people rarely protest unless they are organized by outside forces and paid to do so. There is no way the prices of something would have be increased and anyone would have protested, or polluted anything, or done anything wrong. Because of this, things in this country cannot go well. The rulers, like all outsiders, know that they can do whatever they want, rarely will anyone object. And they do. As long as people say nothing and accept everything, they will be governed in this way - the limits of tolerance will be constantly tested in terrifying dimensions. Therefore, we must not forget that we must not be silent and that we must fight.
Oh wow! Sounds a lot like my country - Nigeria. The people reek of docility and the you're-welcome-to-step-all-over-me attitude.
Where are you from?
I'm from Bulgaria, and although it sounds incredible at first reading, I've also heard other times that the country is similar in some ways to Nigeria.
Lol. I'd never have guessed it was bad. If you didn't mention, I'd have expressed my surprise. Oh well, we fight, how best we know how, at least those of us willing to fight, until we win.
