There is a great line in the book “The Right Stuff” that says basically that. Houston was a hellhole in the 50s and all that which made ot that way has gotten worse or not gone away since then. All the mercury and dioxins are still in the silt in the San Jascinto river or Galveston Bay, or in your fresh gulf shrimp (sponsored by BP and TransOcean)









I want real consequences for this stuff. It’s great that they are getting chastized but this stuff needs to result in disbarment or the like. In engineering if you put a PE stamp on something that isn’t to standard or if you are found guilty of ethical violations you don’t get to keep practicing as a PE. The same standard needs to be applied to other professions. Citing a fake case is a fucking huge ethical violation and malpractice, and needs to be treated as such.
