In Sweden a local village near an airbase has been struggling with the long term effects of the PFAS from the fire fighting foam used in exercises. Although the connection to the awful health outcomes seems established I don’t think they are getting compensation.

Does anyone know why this is done? What is the reasoning here? Is this defendable in any way?

Also known as the, "I got mine. F*** you." philosophy. Maximize exploitation in the short run because by the time the long run comes around, they'll already be dead.

It doesn't speak well of their feelings about their own children, but, well, there isn't a lot speaking that well of them in general.
