The supply of food is absolutely critical to a human population, even if truckloads of fish are left to rot in the sun outside schools?

The supply of mineral and energy resources is absolutely critical to an industrial economy, even if rivers are polluted to the point they catch fire ala the Cuyahoga River Fire of 1969?

I suspect it's worth the effort to minimise and prosecute the corruption, waste, and harmful externalities.

Well, yes, you can't solve this problem by cutting off the supply of food and then declaring that you've ended waste.

by doing something I did not suggest. Agreed.

What I did suggest is not putting up with corruption, waste, and toxic externalities "just because".
