    In the UK it is. Sewage is routinely dumped on beaches and in rivers as a result to boost shareholder profits.

    In response to this I support jury nullification to anyone who causes any harm to CEOs or execs of sewage companies.

    The interesting thing is now that the Internet is completely corporate free market driven it resembles a sewer much more than it used to.

      At least where I live (US), sewage is included in the water bill, and the cost of sewage is 4x the cost of the water it came from. Partly because the public service commission neglected sewer maintenance for 100 years to the point that the EPA stepped in and told them to fix it. Now they’re doing a billion dollars of pipe replacement.

      We 100% do. Either by taxes to a county, a private sewage company, or by having someone come to empty your local sewage tank.

      Unless you’re putting your shit through a sandbed/rock chest.
