The demolition order and other paperwork listed the wrong address. Now they want him to pay for their expensive mistake?

“When I saw [the letter] came from the city, I was quite excited. Maybe it was a letter of #apology. Maybe it was a #check. Maybe they’re going to justly #compensate me. I opened it up and realized that they were suing me.”

@mrchrisadams I'd say lobbying (including strategic litigation) is a much more risky investment, as you can't guarantee results or even that outcomes will monotonically increase with increasing expenditure.

On the least worst side of #offsetting there's e.g. #Compensate Oy, can't find their advisors on the fediverse though:

I'd rather buy & retire allowances from the #ETS.

Not sure how to fund refining improvements without funding the general expansion of refiners.

Low-risk, high-consequence outcomes, such as a piece of a #rocket stage #crashing into a high-density city 🏙️ or a large passenger aircraft ✈️. In the latter case, even a small piece could cause hundreds of #casualties ☠️. #Internationally, there is no clear and widely agreed casualty #risk threshold. #Governments have apparently chosen to bear the slight #risk of having to #compensate for one or more casualties ☠️., rather than to require launch providers to make expensive technological or mission design changes. Assuming that each #reentry spreads #lethal ☠️.#debris over a 10m2 area, we conclude that current practices have on order a 10% chance of one or more casualties ☠️.over a decade. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01718-8
