The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

Typical NYT. Very Obama-like in their failure to state time frames and conflating responsibilities and problems of different entities. Shell or Noble didn't create the storm that damaged the ships and my memory of the event was that the efforts to save the drill ship and avoid environmental problems was on the heroic level.

The NYT article exemplifies Shell's statement regarding social sensitivities.

Maybe the times should spend more time harping on the contributions of union and political corruption to the prolonged and repeated utilities failures every time a decent sized storm hits the northeast.
