    You know how conservatives/ libertarians always claim that government is the problem, and that we should just leave businesses alone, because they are ALWAYS better at solving problems? God bless businesses, fuck the government, bla bla bla

    So here we have an operation that was entirely funded and run by private industry. The government hasn't been heavy handed - they've let BP try to fix it. You guys should be fucking thrilled. Because it's clear they are doing a heck of a job.
