Yeah, I mean, clearly businesses have every incentive to let things like this happen.....
Oh wait, the whole ordeal costs them **** tons of money. Eleven people died, BP market shares have been hit hard, and so long as the leak persists, the company loses upwards of ~10,000 barrels a day. Definitely something businesses strive for and have no incentive to do everything they can to avoid. Better call up the government!
Oh hey, without the limited liability protection offered by the state, it costs them **** tons
more. Funny how the state subsidizes the liability for damages like that, yet it is ACism that gets attacked here for not making companies liable....
