To anyone who hates reading newspaper/ News websites:
We were digging offshore and oil digging when it figured out that there was this giant explosion inside an oil well. Then... after everyone forgot it, another aftermath that nobody ever possibly in the earth would have never thought would happen happened. Because of the crater/ damage on the sea ground because of the explosion, now about 5,000 barrels to 210,000 gallons of oil is being drifted off to the gulf of mexico, killing possibly about 10000 fish every day. The worst part? The gulf of mexico provides 25% of the seafood market, which means that our seafood price will be raised because of the less supply, which would mean no seafood, then the meat companies will raise the price of everything else to compensate for the fish lost, which would result to pretty much the decline of the meat market. A long chain beginning to happen is what everyone is saying, but I highly agree because congress is standing there worrying about something else that is "bigger" then possibly one of the major oil disasters of the age along with the fact that this is the largest oil spill in history. My words to congress is, "good luck, because now eco-friendly people and terrorists will mob you till you pass a law about this."

I'm sure not "everyone" forgot about it, especially when it exploded on Earth Day. Isn't that ironic? And the Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he will no longer support off short drilling. So no, not everyone forgot about it.

Looks like it was BP (British Petroleum) responsible for the spill. Sorry guys. :ermm:

Relatively ancient and inactive

Doesn't look particularly serious... I don't see the government letting anything major happen. It's not THAT inefficient.

I find this to be a giant fail on their part.
They could have plugged it up, but they still want the oil.



None.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
