Anyone wanna guess how long it’ll be until this law is challenged in court?
I’m shocked it hasn’t already happened.
I used to get excited about this kinda stuff. Now I see it and just wait for it to get challenged and go absolutely nowhere.
So they can pay a relative pittance to keep chugging along uninterrupted, and pass the cost on to the consumer.
Yeah, that’ll fix things…I mean, it’s a step in the right direction. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.
I am sooooo fucking sick and tired of people touting out that tired cliché to defend capitalists…
I think instead we should start saying “don’t let the manipulation by their benefactors stand in the way of the reality of the systems they maintain”.
I doubt anyone is expecting perfection at this point, I know I’m not (it being a literal impossibility and all), but them pretending to be “good” and you buying it, doesn’t actually make it any good at all (as I said - it’s just giving them the space to continue as they are for a fee that they will never pay, their trapped customers will).
Defending this bullshit as the good we should be happy to compromise for serves no one but the people running the oil companies (and the politicians they pay to ensure such legislation has no legs).
You are playing their game, and supporting their team, bathing in the placation of their greenwashing and letting them get away with it. That is what’s in the way of good.
