“The blowout we lived through was the first of its kind – the worst ever in the history of our country. The response to this disaster must be proportional in-kind. But it's difficult to navigate the political landscape. Unless people are literally dying in front of politicians – they really don’t care. They can be bought by the highest bidder. It doesn't matter whether we are talking about lead in the water (Flint, MI) or the worst ever gas and polytoxin emission in the history of the United States or a giant oil-spill (Deepwater Horizon). The fact is the political machine is going to fight against protecting people.”
