So they are almost paid up. They already gave up $20 billion, which might be why Tony was sent to Siberia.
Do it!
Not even 1 year's profits.

Almost paid up? Not even close.

"So they are almost paid up"
they haven't put in the $20B yet.
and the civil fine would be separate from and additive with clean up costs.
BP will definitely Exxon-Valdez legally all over again.
Why are we supposed to shed a tear for BP, again?
Why are we suppose to hate BP, again?
Silly me. This is why.
Might have something to do with destroying the livelihood of a large number of people, as well as large swaths of the Gulf of Mexico.
Hey, pollution is cool and 100 per cent American.
Sure. The oil skimming folks are heading home soon and will be out of work. They can't find any oil.
Barry is scheduled in December to apologize for that blunder we caused. First tour date stop, China.
Please read the le, and my words, rather than using your assumption.
damn...
Guess I have to spell it out for the prejudiced people like yourself.
1) le...
2) Paid... $20 billion just for the government request.5M barrels spilled x $4300 civil fine/barrel = $21.5B BP fine
3) I never said they shouldn't pay claims now, did I...
Your assumptive fail!
Where are the commercial fishing, shrimp, and oyster boats working now, genius?
Could you be more specific, genius?
So nobody's out of work and millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf is no big deal.
No kidding. My understanding is that most are still operating.
2/3 of the federal fishery in the gulf is still closed. I suppose the effect on fishermen is probably marginal, like you say.
Some just started operating again, at least according to this notoriously left wing source:

OK, my mistake. That much is affected by government closures, not by the spill.
Guess Obama owns that one.
Yeah, the ban was just for the of it, and had nothing to do with millions of barrels of oil spilled in the Gulf.
Gov macaca dumped lots of fresh water from Miss. to keep the oily water out.
result is a massive die off of oysters and dependent flora and fauna.
Saint BP has been wrongly vilified!
Capitalism cannot thrive if harmless failures are met with financial penalties!
There's a difference between hating someone and wanting someone to take responsibility for their actions, in this case, by paying out fines they were well aware of ahead of time.
Are they reneging on their promise to pay?
Promise to pay =/= paid up
I'll be happier when they actually pay out. If you had a friend who owed you, wouldn't you rather the money in your hand than an IOU?
