BP Does Not Care About Oil Spills
(NSFW for naughty, but non-gratuitously naughty, language)
If this is right, BP doesn't stop the oil spill in the gulf because (a) they don't really care about oil spills, ergo (b) they weren't really prepared for the spill, and (c) they aren't even using the containment booms correctly. The root of the whole thing is, apparently, (a). Since they don't care, they don't actually make their employees learn how to boom correctly, and give them certification nevertheless (this sort of thing seems to go on all the time all over the place in corporate America...my theory is that it's because this is what people learn in college: you show up for class, get drunk at night, get your 'B', and move on).
Anybody know whether the claims in this video are true?

I have to disagree with you comment about this is what they learn in college. Look at it from the CEO's perspective. What's the downside to this for him? He gets fired and collects a pension worth millions per year? Why put in the hard work to actually "run" a company when you get paid the same if you f-up completely and end up in bankruptcy?
