So that is essentially no. They will not pay for the disaster. They will pay for as little as they can get away with. Corporate responsibility is just a slogan and they have been weaselish from the start. They are still acting this way.
In a response to a demand to turn over all information about this disaster BP said this:
Seems simple to me, anyone with info takes five minutes of their day to e-mail any documents pertaining to the disaster. They won't do this of course as those documents could be used against them. Only, this disaster is so epically huge and there really are other concerns than British Petroleum's existence as a corporate entity. Sorry, IMO, this screw up is so huge, British Petroleum should have fallen on their sword long ago.
This disaster has been delayed, not averted, by good fortune and who knows how many million gallons of a toxic dispersant. When ordered to use a different one, that is available, British Petroleum responds:
Mind you, they weren't ordered to use that specific one, but do the British Petroleum guys lack Google or what? Kidding there really, but the arrogance is astounding. British Petroleum is clearly out to pay as little as possible in this whole mess. They have spun this as best as they could, yet they are lying or completely incompetent. In either case, they deserve to go down (at least the upper management, if not the company).
Oh, this means Rand Paul is a complete moron if he doesn't realize all of this. Just to stay slightly on topic. Pity, I would like a less crazy version of the dad.
