Same as Always. that's the part they don't want broadcast. That shit now is the same abusive, regressive bullshit "minorites" have ALWAYS dealt with here. But now that the WORLD can SEE, thanks to the Internet that they ALSO want to control, it's embarrassing "their" Murica and making 'their' kids view it differently -- aka realizing that the "greatest" bullshit is just that.

Just out: study finds video gaming doesn't turn your brain to mush...

In a side study they found it does affect your ability to get other shit done, get a good night's sleep and maintain a normal relationship with the other 75% of the population who don't game. All things that may cause others to THINK your brain has turned to mush.

And not just any old coal mine, but a coal mine next to the Great Barrier Reef.

Imagine being apart of the company who thought of that application, let alone applied it, and somehow not realising how much you sound like a parody of a Captain Planet villain.

in response, they have decided to approve a clean up operation to get all that nasty coal out of there.

to ease the cleanup cost, the waste coal will be sold on the open market.

in the event the coal cleanup project turns a profit, excess funds will be returned to the investors who made the cleanup possible.

Seems like a distraction attempt to me. Start off trying to build a coal mine on the reef (how does that even work, is it underwater?), then "compromise" by building it in some other ecologically sensitive area instead (which is where they wanted to build all along). The coal company gets its coal, the government gets to brag about how it stood up to Big Coal, and the earth gets fucked
