re: Reason for token cleanup effort by BP

Just read this morning that the cost of the spill has already reached 1.25B. Don't know if that is realiable or not so take it for what it's worth.

I'll have to poke around, but a report I saw said BP made 250 billion last year.

I don't think people understand that a billion here or a billion there is considered chump change to them.

For scale, let's make it easy and say that BP made 200 billion and they had to pay 1 billion for cleanup.

That's essentially like saying you have a 20 dollars and you had to spend a nickle.

How much do you care about a nickle?
