Awesome when humans litter and then go "Nah, too expensive to clean up..."

[-] [email protected] 60 points 9 months ago

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"

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

It should only get complicated, if the company who lost the container doesn't exist anymore.

Wait, isn't this meme ages old already? Are the Garphones still there?

No, the original meme was made ... in 1976 so 50 years ago, problem solved.

They should make it a tourism thing. I unironically want to go Garf-phone picking at Le Mer du Chat in France.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Ahaha, I almost believed you that that was the real name of the town, but mer is feminine

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Good catch! The actual name is Le Merde du Chat

It looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I always wanted one of these.

You should go to France, then.
