Here then, I will reveal the justification that is obvious, yet unspoken.
It is better to have a long term loss of income for all those in the Gulf area, and endanger public health, than it is to have some foreigner DONATE time and equipment which could have prevented it all.
Better to risk the lives and economy of those cheap fishermen who don’t donate to your campaign fund, than to have your UNION friends not have a BIG ENOUGH STASH to be able to make ‘generous’ campaign donations from.
“, than to have your UNION friends not have a BIG ENOUGH STASH to be able to make ‘generous’ campaign donations from.”
And that is where they lose me.
Just as a rising tide lifts all boats - a whirlpool will suck them all in.
In the end - the money comes from “somewhere” - and they continue to shut down all sources except for the printing press.
Pretty soon the unions will have no one left to steal from.
