If you think you're having a shitty day... meet Tony Hayward, BP Chief Executive, and you won't be complaining anymore. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a tragedy all around. For the 11 families that lost loved ones, for the environment & fragile ecosystems in general and the millions of barrels now sitting in it and for all the executives who have to take responsibility for all of it.... but they're human too and they have families and kids that they have to come to at the end of the day just like we all do. The news paints a picture that he single-handedly allowed this accident to happen, but it takes a village of people to make decisions... a series of very, very poor decisions at that. Jailing him won't make the oil disappear and no amount of his own apparent sorrow, grief and apologies will ever make any families who lost a loved one feel better. But I read there's a $20billion escrow fund in the works... we'll see how that plays out.
