Carnival continues to dump garbage in oceans

[Flyn]

Planning a Carnival cruise? You may want to know they were fined, again, for dumping waste, including plastics, into the ocean.

$20 million fine this time.

Their subsidiary company Princess, was fined $40 million previously.

Let's break down the CEO's comments.

""I sincerely regret these mistakes." (We should have done this at 3 A.M. What were my employees thinking?)

"I do take responsibility for the problems we had," Arnold said when accepting the punishment for Carnival." (Wait until I get my assistants back to my office. We'll see whose heads will roll. Won't be mine.)

"I'm extremely personally disappointed we have them. I am personally committed to achieve best in class for compliance." (Best in class for compliance. Not stop dumping garbage. Just be best out of the cruise lines at not getting caught.)

You gotta know they're dumping some stuff in the ocean. I would hope escalating fines would squash that real quick.

Don't allow that ship to sail for 6 months every time it is caught dumping garbage

That shit will end really fast.

Who fines the cruise line?

Government always gets the cash.

It's illegal for U.S. registered ships to dump garbage in the ocean.

Why are we even enforcing this when other countries are dumping way more into the oceans? Seems like until they fix their ways we shouldn't fix ours. /s

That might be the worst logic I've ever heard. Oh wait. Are you making fun of the dumbass Boomers who refuse to acknowledge climate change?

America is already the best or one of the best countries at fighting different types of pollution. Our air is clearer than many developed countries. Our cleanliness is better than most. Our environmental laws are among the toughest in the world.

You guys know my views. I think we should keep getting better but I don't think we should bankrupt the country to quickly shoot for zero emissions when other countries aren't doing much of anything to fix the environment themselves.

Unless there is a concerted effort between the world's countries, we could be zero emissions and the climate change issue would still be there. People don't talk about that fact enough.

Found the Boomer.

For sure. Time has told me you should think A LOT before spending trillions of dollars. Especially when no one else is.
