So I guess we're not going to need to drill for oil anymore since it will just be occupying the space where the Gulf of Mexico used to be. We can just walk right down to the shore line and scoop up as much as we want.I've been reading and listening and watching this thing off and on. I've heard that the birds are going to be harder to save than the penguins that they had to clean off a few years ago because penguins have lower metabolisms and don't need to be fed while they're in cages waiting to get cleaned up.
I've heard that there could be as much as 200,000 gallons of oil spilling out of the ocean floor on a daily basis.
I've also heard that BP is offering fishermen 5,000 whole dollars in exchange for a promise to not sue them for destroying their livelihood.
Nice, eh? It's not only nice that they're trying to pre-emptively take advantage of the people that are going to be hurt most by this, but it's even MORE nice to realize that BP is apparently having meetings and assigning lawyers and paying them money to go out ot these fishing towns to screw people over. I have an idea, BP, how about you take your lawyers and fill up their pockets with gravel and old bike chains and drop them out of helicopters over the spill site and maybe they'll happen to plug up the hole in the world that you made. Eh?
