I'm calling BS on that post (unless you can supply a link). $500K is NOTHING to these guys in order to keep playing the game. As a matter of fact BP was paying RIG $500K per day just to lease that rig. So paying a one time fee of $500k is just the price of doing business......
If you want the truth, this administration turned the other way, stepped back, and let this thing get so out of hand it will take months to fix, and clean it up, just to make a political statement, and shove their agenda down on us. BOTH parties need to be replaced.......
Do what is “right”, never do what is “easy”. And do this "all" of the time, not just some of the time.
