re: #54 McSpiff

Hey, not my fault BP fucked up. They committed the tort, they pay for it. That’s how the system works. Business go bankrupt due to this stuff all the time. People lose their jobs from it. Hell, my family bankrupted a small carpentry firm in court because they fucked up a job. If you can’t do the job properly, and safely, don’t do it.

They can fall back on the $75 million cap if they choose. They won’t because they want to be able to drill the US in the future. BP will pay a great deal of money out above their legal obligation, probably billions, and still survive.
