They should make it a tourism thing. I unironically want to go Garf-phone picking at Le Mer du Chat in France.

Ahaha, I almost believed you that that was the real name of the town, but mer is feminine

Good catch! The actual name is Le Merde du Chat

You should go to France, then.

Awesome when humans litter and then go “Nah, too expensive to clean up…”

Just once I’d love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.
Company: “We can’t clean up our industrial mining waste, it’s too expensive and we would go under!”
Government:
okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much“Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude”Tyfud@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It happens semi-regularly. Unfortunately it doesn’t turn out like you’d think.
The company immediately bankrupts itself, but all of its assets and funds are protected by S-Corp and LLC chicanery; so they end up paying less than they would have if they stayed afloat and got fined, and now they’ve got a “new” company with the same people doing the same thing that’s protected from lawsuits.
Because that’s how we designed the system.
And by we, I mean the oligarchs that keep us fighting among ourselves instead of at them.

Happened all the time, that’s why companies need to pay into escrow now (or whatever it’s called).

I’d love that, honestly. Too bad most politicians don’t have the (figurative) balls for that

It should only get complicated, if the company who lost the container doesn’t exist anymore.

No, the original meme was made … in 1976 so 50 years ago, problem solved.
