There's a regulation against a sink hole forming?

Amazing.

Cute....

From your own link....

"The incident comes less than a year after Mosaic settled a massive federal environmental lawsuit with the US Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA found that Mosaic improperly handled its facilities, which posed a threat to the environment and human health.
Mosaic agreed to nearly $2 billion in fixes, improvements and cleanups at its plants and publicly committed to becoming more environmentally friendly.
Environmental groups said the damage from the sinkhole could be severe, and it adds to decades of pollution from the phosphorous fertilizer industry in the state, a key center of phosphate mining. 
'I wish we could say that watching an environmental tragedy unfolding at a Florida phosphate mining site was a new occurrence, but sadly it's happened repeatedly,' said Tania Galloni, an attorney with the Florida office of Earthjustice.
'These phosphate companies are playing roulette with our public waters.'

Yeah... Government bureaucracy and regulation prevent things like this...

...just ask the people in Flint, Michigan about that.

Thank you for proving my point.....Flint is a result of a corrupt Government trying to bypass existing regulations that had been in place, working for years. It was only when they tried to do something cheaper, that serious problems started to arise.  I'm sure some of our members that live in the area will have a better grasp on the issue, but this seems to be the gist of it.

Flint is a perfect example of when government fails (Which it inevitably always does), capitalism succeeds...

Well, when I go pee and it starts glowing in the dark, I'll know it's time to start drinking bottled water....or more beer. Come to think of it, that's a pretty good excuse.   Grin
