10$ Shrimp, $5 Dollar Gas, Black Gold Beaches..?
Coastal residents of La, Ms, Al, Fl, face what could be the worst ecological disaster in US history:
Aside from the horrible beating the commercial fishing interests in the gulf will endure, consider the ecological cost to wildlife, and to the beautiful, sugar white beaches from the bayou to Florida's panhandle.
If you like shrimp, stock up now, or pay way more later. Same for oysters, clams, while they last. Of course, we may get lucky, and someone figures out how to cap the nasty. Otherwise, it's going to be a long, hard grind, until we get this monster under control.
While the limeys at British Petroleum, (BP) finger point at Transocean, (RIG), builder of the platform, strong southerly wind is pushing the mess ever closer to Louisiana's precious delta, birthplace of sea and bird life. Can you believe that one of these companies earned 6 Billion dollars in the last fiscal quarter? Instead of lawyering up, may we suggest they get off their a--_'s, and get this sucker plugged up? I'm tellin' ya..
The Reality:
Politicians are coming out of the woodwork to demand the halt of future plans for offshore drilling. With oil supply and demand so tightly knit, Americans could see $5 a gallon gas sooner rather than later. Markets trade on speculation, not reality.
Hope for some:
ABM is hearing that spill cleanup workers are being hired at $16-$18 an hour. That's a good wage, and we hope the hiring will be restricted to residents who will suffer the most from the damage.
