JWK3986 This is exactly the type of ecological disaster that could affect thousands of people, caused by executive decisions made by groups with no accountability to the people whose lives they could end or ruin that could be avoided by democratizing the means of production and the private sector. This is also what capital punishment should be used for: to protect society from the egos and ambitions of psychopathic executives. Reply
marmastr Never trust the government to give you clean water. If Meta had compliance requirements for discharge they should have tested intake. The entire water supply could have always been contaminated. Reply

If you will take the water, then throw it away, and you are big enough to have multiple eyes over you, trust no one, not just the government. Run compliance on anything that enters your facilites, log everything, watch over everyone. None of this should be a surprise, so the fact that they didn't test intake water is on them, not on the public services. Reply

As in, their function was compromised. As in, they noticed the bacterium because of the damage to their systems. Which means if it had been present earlier, this would have happened earlier. Reply
CelicaGT If these idiots actually looked into heat reclaimation systems some of this might actually make sense. Instead they're going the cheapest way possible at the detriment of the general population. These systems cost more to install but cost less in the long run. Heck, they could eve use lithium bromide chiller to cool the office space and save electricity but oh no, gotta hit that quarterly earning.. Morons. Reply

The entire water supply could have always been contaminated. The article seems to indicate it was government that found the contamination and traced it back to Meta. So the government was testing and you're making the assumption that Meta was not. It could well be that Meta was testing incoming water, but wasn't testing after that point and an issue developed without them realizing. I know its easy to be cynical about the government, but in most cases municipal water supplies are constantly tested. Reply
