No mention of what the oil company is doing to address the leak and environmental damage. It's all coast guard or some other public institutions. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses, again!

If these oil companies had to pay for all the damages they did - including lead contamination and climate change supported by disinformation campaigns, these oil barons wouldn't have the money to afford a begging bowl. Sociopaths!
