The costs are only 1/2 of a flag referendum. Let's get on it!
The costs of an oil spill isn't just financial..
@Viper_NZ @Ilovethebomb , thinking about it: Shouldn't the country responsible for its sinking pay for the cleanup?
Or like with capitalism, are profits privatized and costs socialized?

We declared war on Germany, and the German state that was involved in that conflict no longer exists.
It might be worth a shot trying to get Germany to pay for it, but regardless, we just need to muck in and get it done.
