Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Privatize profits, socialize expenses. That's what they teach in business school?

Yeah, their ability to afford the cleanup doesn't change the fact that it's their responsibility. If they can find a way to drill the wells, they can find a way to clean them up.
