If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Awesome when humans litter and then go "Nah, too expensive to clean up..."
Just once I'd love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.
Company: "We can't clean up our industrial mining waste, it's too expensive and we would go under!"
Government: ~~okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much~~ "Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude"
Eliminate the corporate veil. The people making and benefiting from the decisions made by corporations should be the ones liable, not some entity that doesn't really exist and can be made to truly not exist if continuing pretending to exist cuts off the money train.
Though this would require fixing the justice and political systems first, since they've been corrupted by people who think this is the way things should look.
Happened all the time, that's why companies need to pay into escrow now (or whatever it's called).
And it really doesn't help much because the mess is still there.
I'd love that, honestly. Too bad most politicians don't have the (figurative) balls for that
