    I think Fed's point is that there will be a large financial consequence that no one will ever hear about, and sadly he is probably right. It will be settled for millions of dollars quietly, and nothing will change for our industry...

    I understand, but I'm a realist.  I don't expect change In a government/big business with current election laws that discourage more than a two-party system and allow campaigns to be funded by obscene amounts of money, so I'm not disappointed.  Insurance companies are protected from being sued, banks are too big to fail, and our elected representatives have better benefits than their average constituent.   Heck, many people voted for a guy that didn't even pay his contractors.  But, we still live in a country that's better than most.

      Here is the GAME people.

     Your taxes are paying for OSHA. They are supposed to keep this from happening.

      It happened under their watch. At your expense.

     If your government agency would have come down hard, they would set a precedent that they would have to follow from now on.

      Pay attention Steel to my next words.

     The R side of the TPD controls big business. They will protect their voting base. They know who pays for their side of the joke that runs this country.

     

     Fact coming up----- hang on---

     This deal has been turned over to the lawers (sorry legal), there will be a monetary judgement handed out in silence. No precedent to be seen by the public. No rules to be followed in the future.

     Bunches of money will be made before to next death.

     The voting public has no idea about these games. They vote for more government rules thinking they are solving possible problems

     

    We pay for OSHA, but I don't expect them or any other agency to prevent all deaths no more than an alarm on a resident will keep them from falling or being strangled in a bedrail. I hope their is a monetary judgement.  I hope that the people who were negligent are fired and face criminal charges.   Nevertheless, garbage will continue to be collected and disposed of, and accidents like this will continue to happen as long as the financial punishments are so embarrassingly small.

    I know some are upset by it only being a $12k fine, but please remember that fine is only what is being paid to a government agency.  That is not intended to place a dollar value on the life lost.  Hopefully this will set a precedent so that it doesn't happen again and that Mr. Pierce's family is able to pursue a settlement that will allow them to at least be a little more comfortable while they attempt to heal their hearts from their tragic loss. 

    As I said earlier, its time to unleash the lawyers.  Mr. Pierce died from AD negligence, and we should forget anyone one else who was injured in the accident.

    I would think of that OSHA is an organization to protect the worker as the DEP is an organization to protect the environment. Given the 12k "frown"  given by  OSHA,  I doubt that the DEP will do much more than that, and if they receive a bigger fine, how will that help anyone who was injured or the family of the man that was killed?   Advanced Disposal was negligent.

    Its time to unleash the lawyers.
