denA Rather Large Mining company in a Certain Town in the middle of the state has been ordered by the EPA to install a truchwash, so they've come to us for a quote. Which I gave them. It was less than $100k for a wash that will clean 4m wide Volvo A35D. Their comment on the quote?
"That's a bit much. What if you use a smaller motor? And less concrete. And cut out the two side booms. And what if you cut out the automated system to make it manually operated?"
This company produces 100 metric tons of zinc ore concentrate per week, 30 tonnes of silver ore concentrate per week, and 2 x 5kg gold ingots every 3 days. A pissy <$100k truck wash is "too expensive."

and we get no return on our investment. we as a company do not have a problem with pollution because when the local area gets f**ked up we close down and move elsewhere taking our jobs with us. The important consideration is our bottom line. so we can insulate our ivory towers from the effects of pollution.
When the whole world gets F**ked up we can make lots of money out of you dumb s**ts cleaning it all up again. any way we only asked for a price so some petty government pen pusher told us too.Any way if you reduce the price and performance of the machine we will never have to pay because the machine does not work or you upgrade it at your expense either way we win and you go down the pan but that does not matter because you are a long way away and we can not see you and your family starving
