Too big to fail indeed.

These corporations are our mommy dolls. I don't know how many more spikes to the face I can take.; Tue May 25, 02:15:00 PM MST

Another way of breaking down the figures: average bp profit per day, ~$60M. cost per day of the spill, ~$20M.

Increasing safety measures corporation-wide would likely be a bigger financial hit over time.
Without regulation there is really no incentive to be safer.; Tue May 25, 04:07:00 PM MST

Mientras las companias petroliferas siguen ganando dinero nuestra fauna marina casi desaparecio.
