This is, perhaps, an extrauniversal extension of Fermi's Paradox: a

in such a wasteful galaxy, among so many other wasteful galaxies? As
Fermi asked, "Where are they?" And why aren't they cleaning things
up?"
My question:
I know what you mean! Look at our vast oceans. Why haven't we cleaned
those up!?
Sardonic grin.
