As commented earlier, I was intriqued to learn that we’ve been having blackouts in the wealthiest country on the planet. Today, we hear news that British Petroleum shut down 8% of US oil production because of leaking pipes. Is this totally absurd or what? According to the latest filings, BP made 6.11 billion in PROFIT this past quarter. Six BILLION in profits and these guys can’t maintain pipelines?

Once again, so many questions….

Why wasn’t the pipeline maintained?

Why wasn’t it inspected more frequently?

Where does all this profit go?

Where is the uproar over the continued deterioration of industry?

and lastly,

Who is John Galt?
