We're now almost 2 months into this disaster. I was wondering what folks
are currently thinking about this event. I'm especially curious whether Dan
M still thinks this is a black swan event or something more mundane. Is BP
really that unlucky in that everything they tried didn't work? Or were they
incompetent or just not trying hard enough? I really hope BP can't declare
bankruptcy to get out of paying the bills for this thing.
On a personal level (and not nearly on the same scale as the folks in the
Gulf area), my extended family is scheduled to hold a reunion on the beach
at Destin, Florida. We are anxiously watching to see if we are going to be
oiled out. It's a pain, especially as I've been looking forward to this
vacation for *months*. But again, not nearly as bad as the people (and
animals) who's lives have been ruined by the oil spill.
