Let Yuppies run an Alaskan oil pipeline?


Hell no!!! And what's BP, a British company, doing running a business, unsupervised, in the US. Look at all the corruption coming out of this company in the last few years and try tell me these bums are worth all the money they are getting:

"Frankly, we would have expected a higher level of care from a company like BP on lines like this," says Thomas J. Barrett with the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety."What disappointed me was their failure to maintain these lines to an accepted industry level of care," Barrett says.Tuesday night, BP would not comment on the criminal investigation, but insists that its maintenance program was adequate. The company says it has changed its inspection program to spot problems earlier.

7/06 BP says it will shut 12 oil wells on Alaska's North Slope after whistleblowers allege that more than 50 of them are leaking.
6/06 BP confirms it has received a subpoena from a federal grand jury investigating the March 2006 leak.
3/06 Corrosion in a BP transit pipeline is blamed for the leak of more than 200,000 gallons of crude oil, the largest spill ever at Prudhoe Bay.
12/05 The Alaska Gasline Port Authority files an antitrust lawsuit alleging BP and Exxon Mobil kept prices at record highs by artificially restricting the supply of natural gas.
07/05 Fifteen workers are killed and more than 170 others are injured in an explosion at BP's refinery at Texas City, Texas. BP is fined $21.4 million for more than 300 "willful" or "serious" violations.
2004 U.S. regulators accuse BP of manipulating prices to corner the wintertime U.S. propane market. BP denies the allegation but calls in external auditors. 2002 A well explosion at BP's Prudhoe Bay operations critically injures a field worker. The Alaska Oil and Gas Commission fines BP $1.3 million.
1999 BP is fined $500,000 and placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty to federal charges over illegal waste releases at its Endicott oil field. (source MSNBC)

So where is all the money going that they are getting from record profits. Probably to buy Manhattan condos, Florida vacation property. or a Honda for their spouses. Anything but investing money to run the Alaskan pipeline properly.

What is the the dictionary explanation of a supervisor? One who is in charge, overlooks employees, or run operations in a managerial role.
What is the dictionary explanation of a executive? A person having administrative duties, overlooks managers and supervisors, or runs operations in a chief officer role.

What is my explanation for yuppie supervisors and executives? Yuppie executives don't want to be bothered. They have better things to do. If you have any problems consult their management and supervisors. Yuppie supervisors are all wannabe executives and don't really want to be bothered because they have better things to do. Any problems please consult their overworked, underpayed customer service reps who don't know don't know a goddamn thing. And thats the way it is in the American corporate world.

Are these yuppies Democrats or Rebublicans? They are in both parties. Being Conservative or Liberal has nothing to do with the situation we are in in this country right now. America needs to stop pointing fingers and get to work before we end up as a third world country.

I will try my best next time to cover the destruction of our school system by sicko yuppie professors if nothing else needs to be addressed. But yuppies are hard at work, doing nothing, so more negligence is probably in store for us soon.
