Transocean gives our "Saftey" Bonuses

Nothing shocks me anymore, we are morally bankrupt. The coporate looting of America.

BBC News - Transocean gives bonuses after Gulf of Mexico BP spill

The offshore drilling firm responsible for running the Deepwater Horizon rig has given its top executives bonuses for its "best year" for safety. :rofl: Yeah OK. :rolleyes:

I've said it before: the agency problem in corporate governance has been our undoing. See: 2008 financial collapse, bonuses for Fannie and Freddie execs, etc.

I'm still surprised that people think corporate CEOs are on the same side as the average American. Sheep believe that kind of nonsense.
