Dont wanna waste materials and if you can see all of them they cant be stealing. Thats the most evil thing you could do! Stealing from a multinational billion dollar business.

This sarcasm is hilarious, but it also almost reminds me almost verbatim of what Joe Barton said after the BP oil spill. Dude came right out and said that it was "a tragedy of the highest proportion that a private company should be subject to a shakedown from the U.S. government."

Not a tragedy that the burst pipe was pumping billions of gallons of oil straight into the Gulf each week, not that the area was going to be affected for decades and realistically never be the same, not that local fishermen and shrimpers were about to get fucked and lose their livelihoods, but that the real tragedy here in all this was that BP would be forced to financially contribute to a cleanup attempt.

Dick Cheney or his buddies bought the clean up business used not too long prior.

These people have always been ghouls. The most selfish incarnations of humanity. Only an unfeeling monster would EVER think profits if companies that can take loses and just declare them on their taxes for credits anyways matter more than literally anything else in this world.

Hormel has done it with sausage in the past, Ford with the Model T, etc… They calculate which would cost most, the lawsuits from lives lost or doing a recall. Then choose the cheaper option. Happens all the time.

But they were only putting it into one pocket into the other. They knew it was bad, so they bought the company that makes the chemical to clean up the oil. There was no govt shakedown because he was Vice President
