Re: CRD will study joining class-action lawsuit against B次元官网网址楤ig Oil.B次元官网网址� ItB次元官网网址檚 so easy to point accusing fingers at others for their lack of perception, but a pointing finger is usually accompanied by three other fingers pointing back at the accuser.
LetB次元官网网址檚 see if I get this right: because a municipality has undersized culverts which result in road washouts B次元官网网址� even when those responsible for those utilities were supposedly aware of forecast climatic conditions and did nothing about upgrading the utility in an effort to handle increased flow; and instead of the planned upgrade of culverts the waiting game is played resulting in a washout that now becomes someone elseB次元官网网址檚 financial burden. Wow! Is that good planning? Where, pray tell, is the logical thinking and forward planning on this type of issue? Where is our leadership?
So roads wash out, blame someone else. Heck, thatB次元官网网址檚 easy! Let someone else pay, because somebody at the municipal or local level forgot about, or didnB次元官网网址檛 consider, taking precautionary measures. Or if they did take precautionary measures, could it be those upgrades were inadequate? Even so, figure it out so that someone else has to pay.
If our politicians were Big Oil, would they be more inclined to work with or against someone suing them versus seeking a mutually beneficial outcome? Give your head a shake, folks.
Who has the deepest pockets when it comes to defending their position? Instead of wasting those precious resources fighting each other, isnB次元官网网址檛 it better to look for a reasonable middle ground?
Big Oil isnB次元官网网址檛 solely responsible for climate change. All consumers are contributors. Municipalities and their superiors are also somewhat responsible. No one is guilt-free.
Either way, we pay more in taxes to cover off lack of planning, or we pay more for oil products.
