re: #194 Bagua

The 1-200,000 jobs are a drop in the overall bucket, but devastating for the Gulf states who will also be suffering from the impact on the much smaller fishing industry. The wider effect on the US economy will come from the loss of production and the increase in the oil price.

Never-mind if they decide to take a look at the decrepit land and shallow water drilling. I don’t know which dog to back in that mess.

There is also a lethal threat to the not-small tourist industry. We are planning what might be our last trip to St. George to eat some fish.
