BP Oil should immediately and with all due haste deposit one BILLION dollars into each Unemployment Compensation Fund of the States of Louisiana and Alabama to see to the immediate needs of the newly unemployed. BP Oil must continue to make all such unemployment payments until the economy can return these real human beings back to their job equivalent employment or better.
It is imperative that greed driven capitalist Leviathans behave in a moral and ethical manner when it comes to wreaking harm upon humans. BP Oil should see to this matter immediately for several reasons.
First, and foremost, of course is the human toll that must be recognized and dealt with.
Beyond that, those receiving employment will hopefully look upon their unemployment status with a determination to use their new found free time to participate in Gulf cleanup and wildlife preservation activities.
Thirdly, this may be the best hope that BP oil has for its continued operation upon American soil. Humans will boycott anything with the letters BP on it…think of the cost of having to rename all those gas stations…that cost is quantifiable and at least that much may be justified in making Gulf oil unemployment payments.
Mr. President, this real and true Gulf cleanup operation is–after all is said and done–the real goal of mitigating the disaster. Once BP Oil has directly and indirectly fulfilled their obligations to the humans involved…no matter the cost…then an Executive Order pardoning BP Oil from all further lawsuits might be in order…let the Supreme Court rule upon such an Executive Order…it is up to you to decide when enough is enough.
There will be insane political party types who will propose that BP Oil setup its own Gulf Unemployment Office. Please do not be swayed by such a ludicrous proposal. The key is that Government MUST place itself squarely between a Leviathan like BP Oil and the humans whose lives has been affected.
The Unemployment Compensation funds must come through the state run operations. If necessary you may, by Executive Order, recommend the non-affected states immediately dispatch (all expenses and salaries to be repaid by BP Oil) at least one front line worker, highly experienced with Unemployment Compensation, to arrive in the appropriate offices of the affected Gulf states and for one week assist with processing Unemployment Compensation claims. Everyone who is made unemployed after day 1 of the BP Oil disaster in the Gulf must be presumed to have been made unemployed by the Disaster.
Any human receiving Unemployment Compensation who participates 35 hours per week on Gulf cleanup activities must be excused from looking for work and their UC money must not be cut off.
