hiring more people for clean-up is like calling in the janitorial staff to assist with an amputation.
That's a fair comparison.
The problem is on the seafloor and no environmental company has the expertise to fix the problem on the seafloor.
LOL. The problem(s) are on the sea floor, the ocean surface and now some coastal areas and gulf shores. The mess that has been caused by the breach on the sea floor has caused a huge mess everywhere else and the clean-up task must be accomplished at some time. Are you suggesting that just because the well has not been plugged that we hold off the clean up efforts until the surface oil and sludge make their way into the many ocean currents so that we can see a wider dispersment of the disaster area?
You nor I know if the accident was precipitated by an attempt to reduce costs.
I suggest you order a copy of this past weekends CBS 60 minutes cover story on the actual causes of this disaster from high level employees of BP and Transocean who were on the rig and who attest to the causes that I've shared here.
People obviously derive some sort of satisfaction from speculation but forming opinions without being informed is not useful and often harmful.
I agree with you. You are the uninformed accusing the informed of being uninformed.
