Some left wing loon, mcgowanjm/mcclown, predicted millions of people would have to be evacuated from the Gulf Coast due to the massive oil spill and that hundreds of thousands would die. Has the MSM been covering this up? Or has mcclown made an ass of itself once again?

"If you’ve had to fight insurance companies, the Road Home program, and many other organizations to get your house out of the flooded mess it was after the levees breached, the above paragraph is already describing something quite familiar to you. Check Picou’s latest publications for his studies on the prolonged effects of Katrina on Mississippi Gulf Coast residents and of the levee breaches on New Orleans residents.
Thing is, it’s one thing fighting the incompetency of government bureaucracy, but quite another to fight a corporate entity determined to minimize any financial damages to itself, citing its shareholders as the ones to which it must ultimately answer to…"
"Exxon claims that they are simply “exercising a fundamental right to appeal these damages, a right to which every American individual and company is entitled. This is a core value of our judicial system . . .” … Legal rights aside, there are very practical reasons for delaying proceedings as long as possible. For instance, in 1998 the Anchorage Daily News reported:
Apparently, delay pays. Exxon is earning $90,000 an hour, about $2 million a day or nearly $800 million a year, on the same $5 billion as long as the case drags on and the money stays in its coffers. As it stands now, if the appeals linger a couple more years, Exxon will have earned enough interest alone to pay the $5 billion plus the accrued interest."
THE US/BP Playbook. Coming to an Ecocided Region near you:
"In short, after the reckless destruction of the ecology and fisheries of Prince William Sound, Exxon’s legal strategy has resulted in over fourteen years (as of 2004) of costly court deliberations and the denial of the allocation of damage awards to the victims of the spill. The adversarial techniques deftly used by Exxon can be summarized as follows:
1. Retain the best attorneys money can buy and aggressively attack plaintiffs in every manner possible.
2. Hire scientists to collect and analyze data in an effort to “debunk” damage claims made by independent and/ or plaintiff-sponsored scientists, thus creating “reasonable doubt” through the selective use of “scientific uncertainty.”
3. Deny all non-economic damage claims by attacking the credibility of independent and/or plaintiff-sponsored social scientists and preventing this data from being admitted as court evidence.
4. Use biased accounting strategies to overestimate costs to the defendants and underestimate the damages to victims.
5. Hire law professors and other legal scholars to publish legal position papers that support “legitimate” claims against punitive damages and monitor relevant, ongoing legal cases.
6. Organize a massive public relations campaign that “deconstructs” what really happened and “reconstructs” an “all clear signal,” pronouncing that the spill damages are gone and all victims (ecological and human) have recovered."
