This can’t go by without comment.
Exxon, who made $10 billion in profit this year (that’s with a ‘B’ in case you missed it), thinks it shouldn’t have to pay the $5 billion in damages from when their drunk tanker captain ruined half of Valdez.
(anyone who tells you Valdez has been “cleaned up” has no idea. That ecosystem will never be the same, and the people that depended on it have long ago had to change their lives)
Why do oil companies like playing God? Oh, yeah, it’s because we (the people) let them.
