Although a federal judge overturned Obama’s ban, brought in after the April 20 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, major oil companies are unlikely to resume operations until appeals to higher courts are completed; some rigs are costing as much as $600,000 a day while not in use, the newspaper said.
I do think Obama strongarmed BP into paying people's wages who aren't working... what company would do that on its own? None... Who should pay the cost? Depends... if its directly as a result of BP, then BP should pay the costs... if its not directly, I think each of the businesses would have to absorb the costs themselves...
Like these people who are suing BP for the loss in BP share value... Excuse me, does that mean I can sue all the companies I invested in because they weren't prepared for the recession and loss share value? So stupid sometimes but these pension aholes think the rules of investing don't apply to them... these people should get zero and be forced to pay attorney fees for such a ridiculous claim... stocks are NOT guaranteed to increase in value... everyone knows it... except these guys...
Yo when you take your car out of service for repairs and checks NO ONE pays you for the time you cant use it do they? Its all part of business. Until they verify these deep water riggs do indeed have ALL of the needed safety equipment and safey records(many records have already shown to be faked ) they must shut down long enough for a detailed and researched check of each one. Look what just one boo boo has done,,Maybe they need to look to the ones who caused Obama to have to shut them down for money they dont make during the shut down...Its their fault and Obama has said so......whatsthe problem?

No its not.. There is such thing as a legal obligation to minimize losses.. Which is not taking place here..

1) They arent shutting them down for a detailed and record check
2) So they are guilty, until proven innocent?

The boo boo has nothing to do with costs and liabilities that a 3rd party will incur. This is like me telling you that you have to pay an environmental fine because your neighbor was burning tires in his yard without a permit..

No one caused Obama to HAVE to shut them down. Again, the law says that you need to limit liabilities of damages, and you cant punish a 3rd party for the acts of one..

The problem is you didnt mention who should pay.. OBAMA shut them down, shouldnt OBAMA have to pay?
British Petroleum destroyed the Caribbean. The damages are hugemoungous. Monetary and environmental (plants/animal) damages.
BP should pay for all the damages including the monetary loses in tourism $$$
BP is paying for monetary losses in tourism, but they are liable because thats a direct result of their actions..
The rigs not being allowed to be used, is not due to their actions, but the actions of Obama..
