MM, if your job was lost for 3, 4 or 5 years, would that be negligible? Many of these folks are day to day, week to week. Many have clients who will go elsewhere. 3, 4 5 years is not minor.
I fully agree that in the long term the gulf will survive, but BP has a lot of taking care to do til then. I feel for those folks. What I have lost is indeed minimal. I will survive, I will enjoy the beach, I will enjoy the seafood. Opening up fishing areas will be great. Is it contaminated? You probably have the expertise to know, I do not, but I know what the oil looked like on my hands when I picked some up. What I picked up was a drop in the proverbial bucket.
