re: #944 iossarian
The MMS is very ineffective (and some would say corrupt) indeed. This is because there has been a process over the last 20-30 years, accelerated over the last 10 or so, of deregulating business and reducing the effectiveness of remaining regulation.
Really… last 10 years? Do you know this particular oil rig was cited more times during the Bush administration than the Obama administration, since the current administration never cited it and was actually going to give it an award.
