Not greedy, just incompetent

Exonerated. “The chief counsel for the president’s oil spill commission said Monday that concerns about money didn’t drive key decisions made on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig before the April 20 blowout that caused a massive oil spill and killed 11 people. The conclusion is good news for BP, which has been widely criticized for letting concerns about the roughly $1.5 million a day cost of the drilling rig affect choices that might have prevented the blowout.”


At the end of the day it doesn't matter, yet the constant hysterical left refrain about corporate greed really is belied by the facts.  Indeed I would argue that consumer 'greed' and employee 'greed' and certainly government worker greed (no scare quotes needed) all wildly exceed the corporate kind if only because everyone focuses on the corporate knd.
