Looks like BP is doing a heck of job making this right with the ppl.
NOT!
The sad thing is this won’t be over for years.
You and I will all lose money over this.
Our economy here is going to go in the dumpster as never before, as the full scale of this thing hits, and
more dead sea life and tar land on our beaches and believe me there
will be lots more, only then will you begin to see the real down turn for
the whole southern area.
May more jobs will be lost, and tons of businesses across the south
will be lost. This will end up costing your children their futures, as
as the south goes under, how will any of our children be able to receive higher
education..
I hope every able bodied man and woman took just one day to go to the
beach and contribute somehow to the economy AND to the clean up somewhere
along our shores. No one is going to take care of us, it’s up to ALL of US!
This has just begun!
