This part of the despair is just starting. Hopefully, those who are feeling desperate have a support system so that they don’t just give up.
It must be awful. These people have lost their coastline, their jobs, and now any hope for timely compensation. Meanwhile, reminders of the oil spill are everywhere- on the plants, the animals, and the overwhelming smell. On top of that, the drilling ban forces so many in the same area into desperation, so that the folks can’t even help each other.
