- boomboomsubban 6y agoI'm going to guess the actual cost far out weighs the multimillion dollar fine levied against the company, which their insurance paid.
- koheripbal 6y agoAnd I'm going to guess your guesses are based upon your existing world view, which you are just reinforcing with no additional data. That's how biases are formed.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe fines were described as being in the millions, what do you think the cost of this evacuation alone is? Hell, just the cost of the one employee constantly checking the levels for ~20 years is around a million. I don't have the exact data, but I have reasons for my guess. Besides, you're criticizing me for the same thing you did by saying the insurance paid for the cleanup rather than the fine.
- koheripbal 6y agoYou just doubled down on your guesses with more guesses.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoYes, I guessed that twenty years of salary for a specialized public worker is around a million dollars. No real variation in their salary would make my point incorrect. Why are you trying to make my "guesses" into a big deal rather than admit you misspoke about what the insurance company paid? Do you think that whatever fine they were levied predicted this necessary evacuation 20 years later?
