You’re exactly right Lynn. Taxpayers provide the infrastructure and fund the cleanup while corporations take the profits.

You’re exactly right Lynn. Taxpayers provide the infrastructure and fund the cleanup while corporations take the profits.
Progressive economists and environmentalists have long lobbied for corporations to build the cost (tax) of recycling and cleanup into the product price. The theory being that if consumers had to pay the real cost of using and disposing of a product they might make different, more sustainable choices.
Mosaic spends enormous amounts for advertising that green-washes their company image with stories of reclamation. Piney Point is the reality they want to hide. The evacuation zone involved included more that 300 homes. Most homeowners had no idea they were at risk before the breach.
Most floridians have no idea of the strip mining and ecosystem rape and destruction by these phosphate mines going on in this state. Not too long ago, charlotte county commissioners got wrist slapped for merely taking a helicopter ride over a mine. The corporations even have air space restricted! Something very rotten if our elected officials cannot even witness the hell is going on behind those mammoth 500' mounds.
I listened to the Lincoln Product podcast and Rick Wilson, who lives in Florida, had Peter Schorsch (publisher of FloridaPolitics.com) as his guest. Between the two of them they have all kinds of inside information about Florida politics. They described how utterly corrupt the officials in Florida are.
The corruption is breathtaking here. Now Vern Buchanan (R) wants to inject the toxic sludge into deep wells (out of sight, out of mind) INTO OUR FRAGILE AQUIFER! The sheer idiocy astounds.
Diane, am I exaggerating the charm of your home town, St Pete, from my wondrous one, single day at the museums of Dali and Chihuli? The area around there reminded me of the energy - the vibrancy - of New England towns Portland, Woodstock VT, Burlington, Portsmouth. Or perhaps, I did not stray far enough to loose my enthusiasm? I’ve spoken with my family about St Pete as a possible one month, winter stay for our snow bird life.

The fool would be injecting poison directly into the water table! Of course, being a Republican, he might not understand that.
Oh, and when Erin brokovich visits your area, you might be in trouble. DUH.
Diane, you speak to the frame, “privatize the profits and socialize the costs"
Yes, exactly.
Diane, am I exaggerating the charm of your home town, St Pete, from my wondrous one, single day at the museums of Dali and Chihuli?

There is much to love about our little city on the bay. I’d be happy to make recommendations. Let me know when you plan to be here and we can talk.
Chihuli and St. Pete? Deal me in!
Not only the Chihuli museum and St Pete, but also North America’s largest collection of Salvador the Dali
Oh. I like this phrase!
Oh please use it!
Precisely!
