ththe community. thehey help people in the community, they give back, they give to good causes. a lot of f people in that ccommunity, they do wowork ther. but it's in part to cover up these callous and cruel things that t they know they've done. they've knonow this stuff is goa cause problems, and it appears that they don't really care. a lot of our claims are based on some common law claims that say, look, you can't do something and harm your neighbor. and thatat's what they're doing. they're harming their neieighbor. and that is a violation of the law. >> as litigation in georgia slowly plays out, coal ash dumps across the u.s. continue to b be regululated at the state level, resulting in a patchwork of standards. many states, like georgia and pennsnsylvania, exet coal ash from m hazardous waste regulation. at the federal level, , debate over coal ash regulation has dragggged on for decades. and despite recent coal ash spills in north carolina, coal ash has yet to receive federal regulation. >> garbage disposal and trash is probably more regulated than coal ash is. without any question,

f time. theieir children have more difficulty in school. ththe coss of these kinds of crisisis last for generations. the amount of human damage, the amount of waste of resources is beyond calculation. a ssystem t that does this, let alone a system that does it repeatedly, cannot talk about efficiency because whatever the efficiency is of a particular factory or a particular production process is completely overwhelmed by the inefficiency of massive nunumbers of unenemployed peopl, un-utilized resources, and lost output that could meet social needs. but it's worse. it's not just that we're in a crisis now of horrific pproportions for 5 years. it's that this is the second major breakdodown of t this capitalist system i in the last 75 years. the last one was the 1930s. begins in 192929 and isn't realy ovover until 1940, '41.. a terrible crisis. and between the end of that one in the 1930s and the beginning of this one in 2007, the national bureau of economic research, which is the official agency that counts crises, counts 11 more----11 moe downturn

"what an interesting idea. an alliance." what did it mean? well, the details were hard to come by. it seems asas though there was discussion, obviously, between them. they issued a joint press release anand had a press conference. but it's hard to tell, so i'm now going to imagine where this might go. i'm not saying that's where they're taking it. i don't know exactly where they're going to take it, or even whether they're going to take it somewhere, but here's what i would do. imagine a trade union movement with a completely different strategic idea from what it has typically been. unions h have typically been organizations who make it possible for workers, instead of bargaining individu
