Government Could Fine BP $4,300 Per Oil Barrel Spilled Into Gulf

[rumun]

and its not hurting all the industries in and around the gulf shore? BP will be making record profits next year like nothing ever happened, but the people who depend on the coasts for survival are FUCKED

 

[icanbreakthesecuffs]

talk about fining them after the crisis is over. and seriously unless the government has a brighter idea to stop this shit, then they should stay out of it

This guy has more offshore oil experience than I.... by far.

Trollin y0 boats nigga

 

[BigBronco]

So then this thread should not have been made?

 

[Mugatu]

No matter what, the people who suffer after shit like this are us, the regular people. Either thought higher prices or higher taxes (usually both)

 

[icanbreakthesecuffs]

im sure they did this on purpose

 

[60druidgurubash]

the government should have had subs shoot torpedoes at the spill

 

[meyou]

I wasn't asking you.

 

[icanbreakthesecuffs]

[BigBronco]

You know John Cheney is behind all of this.

 

[MrBucket]

and that makes a difference to the ocean?

 

[quid]

id like to see the calculation that came to 4,300 per barrel too.

 

[quid]

BUT WHO'S FAULT IS IT?

 

[Nemesis_152]

like 80% or more of OT's threads, probably.

 

[nuclear]

How about they try helping rather than just pointing blame?

 

[Nemesis_152]

cliffs on yours?

 

[CESCBOOM]

Finally someone with some sense enters the frame.

 

[meyou]

those senators should be in a shrimp boat skimming oil out of the gulf

Again, how is it the government's responsibility for this clean up? This isn't a "natural disaster" like a hurricane. It's the fault of BP. They're certainly doing what they can but they don't own tankers and I can guarantee neither of us know anything about the logistics of "renting" one from a major oil company. Fuck, they're STILL cleaning up after the exxon valdez..we're on day 37 and the OIL IS STILL FLOWING.
