[quote=jpinpb]flu – there will be people cleaning up the mess, as you say, replacing the 411k census workers. BUT, you have to factor in all the empty hotels, the tourism industry (hotels, restaurantes) the new layoffs, the fishermen not working, those not working won’t pay for their boats, banks lose money, etc. etc. The impact is, imo, greater than replacing census workers. But I’m not against the conspiracy theory. We should evaluate this further ;)[/quote]

I called it first…. 🙂

“BP hires the unemployed for clean-up”

It’s not the quality of the work that matters. It’s the quantity, for these unemployment numbers 🙂

Incompetent Obama and BP turned down Dutch help with Gulf Oil Spill:

Dutch Consul General Geert Visser in Houston told Radio Netherlands Worldwide he was disappointed. The US response, says Mr Visser: “‘Thanks for your help, but at the moment we can manage ourselves.’ And that was it.” He puts the reticence down to pride.

One month into the crisis, when the President started receiving criticism for the administration’s feeble efforts in managing the cleanup, the administration changed its mind,

“Almost a month later – a month too late, of course – Washington did make a request to send the sweeping arms to Houston in Texas,” says Mr Visser. “They arrived in three 747s, ten days later. They were then transported to Louisiana to be mounted on ships.”

American ships have been now fitted with those arms and should be helping with the cleanup efforts any day now.According to Dutch officials, each pair of arms can clear around 20,000 tons of oil a day.

It looks to me like there is mud in the oil now, and that it is getting worse! Considering the pipe is one mile under the ocean and the considerable watter pressure, I suspect BP drilled into an oil field under a lot more pressure than usual.

I hate to consider what happens when the first big hurricane hits and scatters this all over the gulf region!

The other thing I have noticed from the get go, is that there is a LOT more oil flowing that advertised!
100,000 – 200,000 barrels a day at least.

The impact of this has got to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars, possibly trillions. So much for deep sea oil “opportunities”
