Oil Spill in the Gulf
A recent status of mine on facebook reads:
Been thinking a lot about the oil spill. This goes way beyond politics. It goes way beyond who thinks its whose fault. People need to STOP pointing fingers and start working toward FIXING THIS SHITA guy I went to high school with responded to this… mentioning something a rep from bp said… I looked it up because I couldn’t believe it..
this is what I found.. and I believe it’s true. even newsweek confirmed. (http://www.newsweek.com/2010/06/04/bp-s-global-pr-vs-bpglobalpr.html)
“BP representative Hugh Depland said that while the company wasn’t sure exactly when more workers would be hired, the $239 billion company was spending “a lot of money, time and effort to bring this event to a close.” And to those worried restaurateurs facing rising prices for shrimp and oysters? In the words of fellow BP rep Randy Prescott: “Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp.””
I’m not talking about the politics here.. but the NERVE.. WHO CARES if you can get shrimp elsewhere.. What about all the wildlife that is dying because of this? What about all the people who, once this is cleaned up (i realize that a LOT of the fishermen are still working, because they’re helping with the clean up) won’t have jobs?? The area will be recovering for YEARS from this. How will these fishermen make their livings when there aren’t any crabs, shrimp, and fish to catch?
It made me look up what companies in the us sell bp gas. If you’re interested, it’s BP, am/pm, Arco, and Amoco. I’m not telling y’all what to do with this information. but I know what I’ll be doing.
