Putting poison with a life of a half million yeas in a barrel with a rot life of fifty.
Fifty years got it past being their problem.
I have always found it astounding to me that people who would be outraged if you dropped a big shit in the middle of their living room rug and then told them not to worry because someone would come along eventually with an idea of how to clean that up, these same people have no problem putting toxic nuclear waste in a metal drum for someone else to clean up later.
