I can only imagine how it must be now that the EPA gives no fucks but when I worked in the oilfield in the gulf of mexico in the late 90's the smaller platforms were always up to poo poo. I went to one every couple weeks that we always delivered a 55g drum of rig soap to (think like 4x concentrated Dawn detergent). They were always throwing soap around the rig to prevent the constant steady leaks of oil from making a slick which helicopters / boats could see and would have to report. This was a Whiting petroleum rig iirc but there were like 5 other ones that got to visit personally.

It's gotta be loving nuts out there now. The only reason they were even dumping soap back then was to not get an EPA fine.

Isn't the EPA specifically suspending any enforcement at the moment?

e: Yup:

It's still not budging.

The overall issue is that these astroturfy protests can't really get past a 50-50 split of the Republicans polled. So they never really crack 25% and there hasn't been a lot of evidence to see that number budging, at least not yet. Give it a month and if the unemployment systems are still hosed, that could budge.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued Executive Order 2020-28, which removes restrictions on public access points to the state’s beaches, public piers, docks, and wharfs, while delegating to local officials the authority to restrict access, as they see fit.

This order also re-opens retail stores that were closed pursuant to Executive Order 2020-18. The businesses to be reopened are as follows:

Furniture and home-furnishings stores

Clothing, shoe, and clothing-accessory stores

Jewelry, luggage, and leather goods stores

Department stores, with the exception of hardware and home-improvement stores

Sporting goods stores

Book, craft, and music stores

Flea markets

Florists and flower stores

Can't wait for Trump to air a video tribute to him tomorrow during his afternoon talk show because, if there's nothing on character for Donnie, it's expressing grave concern for the newest in a long line of human rights abusers.

Guess who's working "essential" jobs.

Also throw in a bonus of larger (number of people) and smaller (square feet of the residence) households.

On top of that, they're people without a lot of money, so they're preconditioned to not seek treatment. That's leading to a lot of people that could've been on early oxygen to fight the pneumonia, but instead coming in when they're near death with lungs that don't work.

https://twitter.com/thegarance/status/1252425067847286784?s=19

That seems to be a major factor in a lot of deaths - COVID can trick you into thinking you're fine, when you've actually been conditioned to take faster, shorter breaths that feel clean, but don't push enough oxygen through.

I'm picturing the NK government falling apart and then after a week of everyone standing around waiting to be told what to do, the migrations come and the nights are punctuated with the occasional explosion as landmines are detonated by those trying to cross under cover of darkness D:
