Ongoing compensation payouts to locals is too slow and dragging on while peoples' livelihoods suffer.
The BP lawyer who is handling the compensation payouts is himself being paid over $800K PER MONTH, and his salary just went up to $1.2 MILLION per month.
That about right?

Something like that!
BP is still cutting checks left and right. My family knows a bunch of people. There are waitresses getting like 7k checks who aren't even fucking out of work and affected by the spill. It is a crock of shit, they just want everyone to hear they are "doing the right thing."
Actually what they don't talk about in the media is all the PRISONERS right now STILL working cleanup for like $2 an hour. They're just using prison labor now, although they used it throughout the entire cleanup as well. Along with the "undocumented" hispanics that the Catholic church harbors down here under the guise of helping third world citizens.
Yeah, blah blah blah I know nobody cares. I wouldn't have even posted this has it not coincided with the other holidays. It's funny.
