You probably need to know a bit about logic to point out logical errors, and you'll need to name the fallacies, not just a generic "logical errors", that's meaningless.still too many logical errors... how do you trade the market by the way? logical errors usually mean losses hehehe.
not an expert in A-76... observations still look like thinking inside the box though... no privates stepping up? there is money to grab and nobody wants it? or is it the A-76 process so costly that the privates don't think they worth the odds to get approved? too common to have something labeled as 'open for business', only when you try it you find the barriers are too high.... again, just common sense, govs do not have incentive to operate efficiently... gov people's priority is not to get fired.. and usually you don't get fired by following the status quo.... the privates have investors to answer to, have to drive to revenue/profit goals, have to hit bonus targets etc... common sense.
who said pollution is a good thing... you keep making these basic logical errors.. in developing countries, quite often it IS a binary choice.... if you clean up and your competitor get away with not cleaning up, your cost is higher and you go out of business and your children starve. Your eyes are wide shut my friend... to the point of say there is nobody going hungry in the US.... I dont' blame you if you couldn't come up with the poverty/hunger rate off the top of your head... I had to look it up too... 14% suffer from hunger in the USA... 14%!!
But sure you have seen soup kitchens around you?
eyes wide shut?
I'll count it as a win for knowledge that you now know that A-76 exists. Is it effective? Again I've seen a bunch of cases where we self-initiated an A-76 review and no-one even surfaced to do the job. Why? All the low hanging fruit, stuff that's amenable to privatization, has already been picked. What's left is stuff that's just inherently hard and expensive, with most of that expense due to inherent risk. If a private company prices in that risk, it often becomes prohibitively expensive. I'd again caution that you're just assuming "stupid lazy government employees" without knowing the first thing about the processes or innovation that's currently going on. That's a jackass move, not to mention, in your words "illogical".
I've worked in soup kitchens, have you? Our clients were largely suffering from mental illness, often untreated and/or significant substance abuse issues. They weren't at the soup kitchen because pollution controls killed their jobs, that's just an idiotic assertion. Again, it's a named logical fallacy you're engaging in, the "either/or" fallacy. You've provided no evidence that the 14% hunger rate in the U.S. is caused by controlling pollution. And no, the fact that autocratic third world countries allow pollution to the detriment of their population is not proof that hunger in America is caused by pollution controls. I've shown that in fact it's the opposite, pollution is a drag on the economy. I'd be happy to hear you address that, you're quite studiously avoiding it.
