- josefresco 9y agoExactly, and there's "outrage". Imagine if it was 100 Olympic size swimming pools... The American public can't handle the biproducts of modern manufacturing.
- shifter 9y agoThere are multiple "American publics". The outrage machine will not like it, you are correct, but take a drive through Nevada or West Virginia and you'll see folks used to such side effects.
- josefresco 9y agoTrue, I shouldn't make the assumption that "the public" is one thing, or another in absolute terms. However, I wouldn't call it an "outrage machine" just because people are concerned about pollution/misuse of natural resources.
- shifter 9y agoClarification: the outrage machine does exist as a phenomenon in American politics. It's real. I agree that stewardship of the environment is very important.
