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

      As little as they can get away with. And then they’ll brag about record profits.

      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.
