Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
so you do? I don't know that he was smart, dumb, or otherwise.
I could mention that BP has a vested interest in the climate change vehicle that a lot of political players have a stake in (Obama, Soros, Gore, etc.)... nevertheless, only evidence would imply what HE knows or doesn't know. You can't string a man up for something he doesn't know stuff about unless he was in a position to know better and act upon it. Investigate and identify the negligence.

I suppose you're also upset about Obama's 7 week punt on the matter?

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
Sure. I'm more upset as I said earlier in the thread that America continues to settle for less in everything. I'm convinced in an America long past that this well could have been run safely and environmentally friendly at a profit. Instead it was run by the company with the worst safety/environmental record in the industry and we were all satisfied with that until the "accident".
We fail at oversight involved capitalism. We may as well try the unfettered variety cause it pretty much is already.

These companies just don't give a **** about safety or following standards.

So which big, greedy, multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporation is going to take the flak for this one?

If you mean the beer, the oil would have been more potable.

As someone who lives with CFR 14 on a daily basis, I can assure you that it is darn near impossible to dot every i and cross every t. Any regulator can find a violation every day of the week if they look hard enough.
Seriously? Those are your incidents that prove they don't care about safety or standards? A single $35,000 fine on a $500M company? That's not even a love tap on the wrist, so clearly it wasn't an egregious violation.

Let him have his high horse fantasies, man, come on. He needs to feel important.

I guess Boeing doesn't care about safety, either. After all, something went wrong, so there has to be SOMEONE to blame.
Yep.

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
This is what happens when government is "a friend to business." It's not appropriate for the government to be either friend or enemy of business. They are the ref.
But in our government, one of the teams is paying the ref. It's shocking when the calls go in their favor, isn't it?

There were a billion rules in place already. They broke them.
If we add more rules, do you think they follow them?
