the high cost of doing nothing.
THIS is the message that we need to calculate, and pound into the ground.
just watched a segment on the bbb plan to replace lead water lines on the last word. they talked to the mayor of flint, and he used the phrase- the cost of doing nothing.
the cost of special ed services ALONE for 1 kid probably pays for a whole block being cleaned up.
add the medical costs over a lifetime, and it's clear that pennies save dollars.
for those that dont give a shit about the human cost, the hard dollars and cents might make a crack where the light can get it.
i know this point was made in passing the aca, but it's a little less clear when the cost of doing nothing is borne by individuals, many of whom die and cost no more.
but climate change, infrastructure, and education are much more clear cut.
ammirite?
