Does Washington have that law as well? That would mean that we protected the entire west coast of the main 48. I somehow suspect that neither AK or HI have such laws.
If I remember correctly yes with one exception for a beach just north of picnic point. That beach is to my knowledge the only privately owned beach in Washington because it used to be a ship salvage yard and several boats are still on the beach.
It sounds like kind of an emergency situation, where concurrent breakdowns of infrastructure led to an existing sewage station being overwhelmed. The sewage had to be hauled away, and the argument is over whether dumping it in the ocean was reasonable or whether it was viable to haul it to another sewage station.
But whatever the outcome, it doesn’t sound like it’s something that one would expect to occur on a regular basis. That is, it’s not like, say, a combined sewer that intrinsically needs to dump untreated sewage into waterways when it’s particularly rainy (or, rather, I don’t know whether this particular sewer was a combined sewer, but the specific problem that led to the trucks dumping sewage relied upon breakdowns).
A lot of legacy outlets are divorcing them selves even further form audiences with this kind of behavior, sticking to obviously manipulative narratives even as they see public opinion unaffected my them.
I wish that PM Sunak was right about the result of this, because a class war is exactly what the UK needs. Unfortunately, his track record tells me that he’ll be wrong about that as well.
Also, I always lol at the rich trying to appropriate class warfare language to mean that the poors will make fun of, or bear greater resentment to, the ruling class.
It’s like saying that global warming is actually environmental terrorism, and that the rain must be held accountable.
Might as well cite Singapore, but we also have our negatives. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to private/public as the main source of education problems.
