What the he** were they thinking by not doing this on their own YEARS AGO? Jon SHAMED THEM and they are now tainted forever as being a bunch of schlumps who had to be GOADED AND SHAMED to do something they should have done many years ago. SIGH.
I wonder if you realize what a great question that is Shuhak? "Why should they do their jobs?" Why should they? They get paid whether they do or don't do so why do? I never thought about it from that angle. Lots of those folks who aren't dead yet have terrible health problems from inhaling whatever was in the air day after day after day cleaning up the enormous rubble. So to take care of whatever health problems they had BECAUSE THEY DID THEIR JOBS seems to me to be the least we could do. Some gave their lives. Many lost their health. It should have been immediate legislation for their LIFETIME...in other words FOREVER until they died. I wonder how many people would choose to do their jobs if they got paid either way? Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday.
