So much for strong, fair, law enforcement. Al Armendariz, Administrator for the South Central Region of the EPA has a new enforcement policy. Crucify them!
“It was kinda like how the Romans used to conquer those villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw, and they’d crucify them. And you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.”
Then he applies this tactic to twenty first century America:
“You make examples out of people who, in this case, are not complying with the law. Hit them as hard as you can and make examples out of them. There’s a deterrent factor. Companies that are smart see that, they don’t want to play that. And they decide at that point that it’s time to clean up.”
This is horrifying. We knew this was their philosophy but to hear it stated as if American businesspersons are the ENEMY to be murdered if they don't cooperate sends chills up the spine.
