We’ll get around to it.

Seriously though, what is wrong with our governments? Why do they wait until we have a crisis before they do anything?

    The costs are only 1/2 of a flag referendum. Let’s get on it!

    The costs of an oil spill isn’t just financial…

      @Viper_NZ @Ilovethebomb , thinking about it: Shouldn’t the country responsible for its sinking pay for the cleanup?
      Or like with capitalism, are profits privatized and costs socialized?
      Ie is the damage done by war faring countries forgotten and is there no accountability?

        The German government has actually offered to help with the investigation and cleanup, although I don’t have a source to hand for that.

        So yes, they have actually offered to help.

        We declared war on Germany, and the German state that was involved in that conflict no longer exists.

        It might be worth a shot trying to get Germany to pay for it, but regardless, we just need to muck in and get it done.
