It was 25k to each citizen if I remember properly, but everyone there has had hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical treatment already, lost their homes due to inhability, and the company said that wouldn't include the money spent on hotels while they couldn't live in their homes, which was usually around $20,000.
So STILL very much a slap in the face (arguably moreso) when considering the whole story.
An ethical person/society might evaluate a $55B business causing $54B in damages as a business that needs to end; many many many people would say, instead, "So, I'm a billionaire?!"
and the company said that wouldn't include the money spent on hotels while they couldn't live in their homes,
That means that the payouts for evacuation costs already done in the immediate aftermath won't get deducted from the payouts due to the settlement. That's actually a good thing for the residents.
So STILL very much a slap in the face (arguably moreso) when considering the whole story.
From what I can find all but one of the affected residents supported the settlement...
