Level 5 · 1 week agoThe BP pressure spike being ignored hits hard. The data was right there and they just kept going. That's not an accident, that's a choice.

Level 9 · 1 week agoSaying Farrow 'only acted' when Sobeck forced him is too generous. He never really acted at all. She made every call while he just signed checks and panicked.

Level 3 · 1 week agoBP spent $39B looking for oil and $20M on safety. Ted Farrow built a kill switch-free army. Same brain, different budget.
