• the companies have probably already worked out their biggest profits yet could come from charging us for the mess and then the subsequent “cleanup”.

    they’ve probably already calculated that the bigger the mess, the more they can overcharge us for their half-arsed “cleanup”

    unfortunately their greed will surely blind them as to where the exact point of no return actually is.
