    Huh that’s very reasonable actually. Generous even. Now let’s see what they can pay workers.

      Yeah, I was thinking… only of their profits? So they can afford to still make a shitload of money and not put out all that pollution?

          I’d like to see a calculation for that. It seems expenses to be more careful would be comparable, but who knows.
