re: #72 reine.de.tout

we’d know it ain’t exactly spot on. BP has been very slow to pay those claims, is paying pennies on the dollar, and has agreed several times to cooperate with local officials on these claims, except they never actually get around to the actual cooperating part.

I’m wondering what they’re thinking with that, BP has a TON to lose here (beyond what they’re already losing) by seriously pissing the gov’t and the locals off, especially via pissant half-hearted payments.
