But you are callous enough not to care about what has been done. You know, there is a side to business that isn't just about the profit and loss. Some companies actually subscribe to responsible business practices. Do I feel sorry for the pensioners? Some, but not entirely. They are invested with a company that has callous disregard for them -- That's not the fault of my government. The USG didn't put them in this position, BP did. What leverage would the USG have to tell a multi-national company that they shouldn't pay a dividend? It's all PR and you are falling for it.
I think you are listening to too much conservative talk radio again. BP is in the wrong, not the USG. BP created their own nightmare because they took irresposible risks, not the USG. I'm not happy with the lack of focused problem solving by the COE and whatever other agencies that are too slow to act on requests to do something about the problem -- but I'm certainly not mad at my government because a multi-national company is taking a beating in the media.
Drop in their stock prices doesn't bother me in the least. Some smart investors will scoop up their stock at reduced prices and ride it out. A temporary drop in stock prices is just OPPORTUNITY for investors.
