I agree, they're inane, I have to switch channels and hope I don't run into Meg Whitman (Republican governor candidate here).
What bothers me more than Big Oil though is my reluctant acknowledgment of our own gov't's role in it all. I think they'll throw money at the residents for a while and then down the road, like wlotus said, tell them to pull themselves up. They'll shame them, leave them.
I expect nothing from Big Oil. I'm still naive enough to think that the gov't's job is to take care of its citizens. Not just the rich ones.
It drives me crazy that the people in LA have nothing to do. "They" won't let them take part in the fix. I think most of them probably don't revile Big Oil as much as some of us because it does provide a livelihood for them.
Training them to clean up, regulate, explore alternatives,something, there's tons of jobs training grant money being awarded all over the country. They need to be self-sufficient again, in some way including them is what's needed. They make their living in the gulf and they've been banished. It just kills me. They're treating them like children, but I guess we're all treated in some way, by gov't like that.
