Rebellion, Industrial Corporations have a history of putting things off in favor of the bottom line. For example, the coal Dams in West Virginia which were created by waste dirt and water from coal mines. Residents from the valley towns below warned the coal company that the dams were leaking and could rupture after three years of rain water build up. The residents were told there was no problem. Within a year one of the dams ruptured releasing millions of gallons of water on the valley below killing 125 people in three towns. We need regulations to force these companies to make changes otherwise they will put them off as long as they can. If some of the upper level executives of these corporations have to take a bonus cut to pay for these changes then so be it.
