Wasn't my place to "rat them out".  They had been ratted out and always manage to get out of it.  Those people are professional moochers and know the system and how to get around it.  Also you can can the insinuation of it being someone in my family.

  Well, I can see why you wouldn't want to rat out a family member, you have to live with them.  :boohoo:  :boohoo:  :boohoo:   :razz: :biggrin:

So, let me get this straight:

While Carter was POTUS we had the exact same kind of oil rig disaster (1979) and they tried the exact same fixes over 30 years ago, with the exact same results?! And it was due to the exact same failure of a BOP and just was in shallower waters? And one of the same companies (Trans Ocean) was involved in that one as well?

So then the Shrub and his cronies go ahead and rubber stamp a permit, and do not get concerned that the exact same fixes that did not work 30 years ago, are in their disaster plan, but this time they are going to drill a mile deep?  :spooked:

Yeah. . . we need deep water drilling like we need arsenic in our food stream! Damned this is more frustrating each and every day!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

No it did not. I clicked on it shortly after you posted it and was awaiting others to do so. Apparently they either were too lazy or just don't care about it.

This has got to be one of the best examples of human stupidity and greed I have EVER seen within my lifetime. And to think anyone would dare endorse letting ANY of these oil companies drill one more inch in deep water, given what has transpired not once, but TWICE in the Gulf, is beyond comprehension.

Until they come up with a validated plan that is PROVEN to work, they should never be allowed to deep water drill again!  :mad:

  Last week on one of the news show on Msnbc, there were two Republican Ex-Senators with about 60 years of combined years in office.

  They are now Lobbyist for the oil companies.  They do not want to stop drilling in deep water for even 6 months.  This oil spill was just an unforseen accident.

  Can you imagine working of an oil platform in the middle of the worlds largest oil slick, drilling a new well.

bp is opening a 20 billion dollar escrow fund to compensate for damages. There will be more if it is necessary. 3rd party will administer the distribution, and a panel will be established for review of all cases that are denied.

BP is going to compensate all oil workers that have been idled by the moratorium.

No, they are only doing it after the POTUS insisted it be done.

The head dog of BP just said so on live television, saying that "at the insistence of the president, we have agreed to". . .

And it will not be enough, watch and see. . .

My mistake, I did'nt see the "moritorium" part...

I was referring to where BP said they would pay for ALL costs and all legit claims...

The oil rig workers will be paid from a separate 100 million dollar fund.

The federal government is going to ask congress for more unemployment funding for those who will not qualify to be paid from the 100 million dollar fund. (Good luck with that one. Those bastards can't pass a simple extension for the millions that have been unable to find work).

The 20 billion now guarantees those injured by this will be paid, and takes the process out of BP's hands and the governments too. It also relieves BP of no liability for potential lawsuits that may grow out of this.

Now, I think THIS is an excellent move or idea......
