I'm sure many of you remember the oil rig fire and oil spill that occurred in the Gulf, right?

Well, it's only getting worse...

Members of the clean-up crew are now suffering from neurological damage, many are either dead or dying... And what is BP doing about it? Absolutely jack SHIT.

Here's a video in which one of the affected employees explains the situation: [link]

Shit like this just pisses me the fuck off. Just more proof that corporate America cares about nothing but money, money, and more fucking money.

I hate America (or at least, those in CHARGE of the country).

I refuse to call it 'my' country. Hell, it's because of crap like this that I want to LEAVE (preferably to Canada).

Anyway, spread this if you can. These assholes need to be held accountable for the suffering and damage they have caused.

I'm quite sure that anyone that signed on to help with cleanup would have been informed of the dangers of working with oils, they likely signed contracts that may waive BP or government responsibility for their safety. Odds are also that some people didn't follow rules to maintain their personal safety. Basically the whole thing is a mess, was before and is now I guess, and if BP does have any liability in these after effects then those affected should be able to pursue compensation. Though if someone wants to go clean up oil for a quick buck and doesn't have them self some health insurance with it, that's just unfortunate on their end.
So sad, but nothing crazy in our world. *heartless*
