“Water is not a human right”, says the CEO of Nestles Group, the largest seller of bottled water in the world. Corporations are people, they just happen to be psychopaths.
The regulations that work are invisible, so people don’t even realize how important they are. And because people don’t study history much they don’t have a sense of what things were like without regulations.
And Freedom Industries would provide even more jobs and benefits if they were required to run their business in a safe manner by hiring inspectors and environmental engineers and replacing tanks before they fail. But they went bankrupt, so (as usual) it’s the taxpayers who will be stuck with the bill while the executives get to keep the salaries and bonuses they earned while cutting safety to the bone.
“To all libs: Call your electric utility and tell them to disconnect your power because coal produces that evil electricity. They won’t miss you at all.”What electricity isn’t provided by my roof top solar panels is provided by the wind farm 20 miles down the road.
No apology necessary. It’s a “phonetic” spelling of “phrase”. The initial “ph” derives from the Greek letter “phi”, which originally was pronounced as an aspirated “p”, thus the “h”, but later on came to be pronounced as “f”. Some languages (such as English) use the somewhat illogical “ph” spelling in Greek loan words, but some others (such as Spanish) use “f”. In fact the Spanish equivalent for English “phrase” is “frase”. Even in English there are some doublets, such as “fantasy” and “phantasy”. I hope this explanation helps.

Sum of all fears: any loss of profit due to regulations that save lives.

If you crash while driving on the ice with bald tires that you refused to maintain, it isn’t an “accident”.
