BP Agrees to Speed Up Payments
Posted: Jun 10, 2010
Maybe BP can do something right, after all: The Obama administration says that BP has agreed to expedite payments to businesses and individuals whose livelihoods have been damaged by the oil spill. The administration made the announcement after a meeting with BP executives, including CEO Tony Hayward. BP will now change the way it processes claims, including a decision to no longer make businesses wait for payments until they have closed their books for each month.
We'll see - hope this is not one more false statement just to placate and stall . .
;
It won't make up for the disaster - sm
[ In Reply To ..]but people in those areas whose very livelihoods have been stomped on by this oil spill deserve something.
I too hope that this isn't BP and Obama blowing smoke up our butts.
I think they should be made to cough up as much money immediately - Really?
[ In Reply To ..]before they file for bankruptcy.
But, you're right -- $$ ain't gonna a do a whole lot for those helpless creatures that are perishing every second . . .
oops, meant as much money as possible nm - Really?

HIgh-Speed Rail LinesNov 10, 2010
Click on the link to see where billions and billions of stimulus money would go for high speed rail lines. Note that 3/4 of them do not connect to the rest of the country. They are mostly 'local' rail lines. At the bottom or side of the chart, you can click on each line and see the projected cost of each. In my honest opinion, from reading some of the other newspapers and journals, most of these lines will be so fast, anywhere between 100-236 mph trains, yet only cut 1/2 ...
