The bosses of water companies that pollute waterways could go to prison under a new law the British government says will help clean up the country’s sewage-clogged rivers, lakes and beaches.
A bill introduced in Parliament on Thursday will give regulators the ability to ban bonuses for executives of polluting firms and bring criminal charges against lawbreakers, with the possibility of up to two years’ imprisonment for executives who obstruct investigations.
The state of Britain’s waterways made a stink during the campaign for a July 4 national election. For critics of the Conservative Party that had been in office since 2010, dirty water was a pungent symbol of Britain’s aging infrastructure and the effects of privatization of essential utilities.
BTW, are we allowed to talk about the national capacity for 60M poopies per day vs the actual load of 90M ?
our birthrate drops. young adults emigrate. some old people die while others retire abroad. And yet, we’re 30M poopies/day overcapacity. why? nobody nose! it’s a mysteron!
This sounds like dogwhistling?
What are you implying.
Do i have to spell it out? it can only mean one thing. they aren’t abroad and they aren’t dead. Which means they must be underground, kept alive in a coma. their bodies used as orgone-energy batteries to power the quantum thingy. look, i don’t have much time. you’ll have to trust me… oh no, they can see us. run!
Problems like these are solved by expanding supply. It doesn’t really work to reduce demand.
wait a minute. are we talking gross domestic poopie? or poopie per capita?
