Regarding the oil disaster in the Gulf Coast

[Duer 157099]

Let's say for the sake of argument that the oil companies pay for all of the cleanup.

Does that include reimbursing the US for any security/help they have provided?

And what about all of the people in that area who rely on the coastal sea life to make a living, is that also covered as "damages" or is that yet another expense that the citizens and government also get to pick up?

I am so sick to death of how fucked up we've become because of greed and stupidity.

But really, does anyone know the answers to: who pays? and what do they pay for?

My sister lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I will see if she will keep me informed of what the talk there is about this.

4. using the exxon valdez as a role model, I'd say

they'll stall and stall, appeal and delay until everyone is dead. Then they'll offer 3 cents on the dollar to the heirs.


It's not just how greedy and stupid the world has become, it's how we've managed to kill the planet in 100 years.

If I was God, I wouldn't let humans have more than stone tools.
