reality is not the most important element here for ace. i learned that in the thread i made in which i was trying to assemble an idea of how this fiasco was possible and why it's played out the way it has. ace was of course entirely opposed to this reality business and instead quite insisted that things excluded a priori by the regulatory apparatus should happen and straight away and that it was some failure of leadership or some other conservative-specific Bad Thing which explained why this or that uninteresting thing that was entirely excluded by reality in any event hadn't happened yet. like firing bp when the regulatory system presupposes that bp would be the source of contingency plans and technologies fitted to deal with them. unless of course they're exempted from having to produce the plans. which minerals management did. but it's unamerican to point that out apparently. and it's obviously the fault of the government that they do not now have the plan and technologies that their regulatory system prevented them from having. so what we should do is assemble a dream team of really smart people who will figure everything out and then call a superhero to put it into motion.
it's really a joke.
meanwhile, lots of aspects of the gulf ecosystem die.
call superman now.
