Permits also enable stuff like a regular independent inspection regime which might be a good idea for especially dangerous stuff.

It's not good enough (in my opinion) that they might be doing it right for now - they have do do what is necessary so that it can continue to be done right until the stuff is safe.

If they go out of business or sell the land or assets, the next people need to know what is where and how to handle it and have all the records and reports and so on. So a proper public record, rather than private would better.

Don't get me wrong, a spill is worse than a paperwok infringement, but
this fine seems trivial in relation to (what I think should be) the level of responsibility for handling and toxic materials - even just getting all the paperwork right.

Imagine if they did go out of business, and someone had to re-inspect the whole site to determine the risks with no reports to start from - could that be done for $14k?

Do they still have lots of oil?

That's a fairly widely traded commodity so probably would help buffer against impacts on other industries of trade instability. Though they might have to consider higher tax on oil or something.

Words literally change their meaning over time and social context.

I think "guy" used to mean just "a rope" until some fellow named Guy tried to blow up some nobs in London.

I think both "guy (rope/guideline)" and the name "Guy (Guido)" might origiate from the same basic word "guide" .

I don't think it's always clear why changes happen, people just use it differently and if a new usage spreads widely and becomes common, then the new usage may get added into some dictionaries.

I quite like "RobWords" on youtube - 'tho I'm not sure if he has covered this one specficaly.

stackoverflow vs posting a meme.

Which one gets the best help?

I can see the appeal of the meme option.

The video makes good points, but unfortunately loads of the arguments made in this video could be fuel for these nutjobs to start arguing that cars are over-regulated.

There are already people who seem happy with low levels of regulation on firearms, I don't see how they'll accept the safety argument for car licensing.

I mean I know the raw stats are fairly easy to show that cars are one of the most dangerous things in the world (ranked up there with thinks like malaria) - but do those people care?

Maybe It should say grandfathered you tube users are to be estranged.
