2016 Postmortem

Mine was right after getting my license to practice law. I saw how Exxon in the 30's-50's used to start everyone in the labor gang at their plant in Baytown, TX. The white guys would be in the labor gang from 2 weeks to 2 months before being offered a spot in a Trade like carpenters, boilermakers, pipefitters etc., the black men were in the labor gang (without exception) until they were too old to do the work, then moved to the warehouse.

Then I saw how the big companies had their Lobbyists create a special bankruptcy just for asbestos defendants enabling them to escape most of their liabilities for covering up the dangers of asbestos for decades, killing millions of American workers. Us Trial Lawyers were made to be the bad guys "bankrupting these poor companies" by Congressmen and Senators.

It has continued 25 years later watching BP bribing the Plaintiff's Steering Committee (PSC) in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill litigation with a $600,000,000 "Common Benefit Fund" that the PSC only gets if the terrible Class Action Settlement goes through to the end without being overturned. This deal has saved BP tens of billions in settlement payments and allowed them to drag this thing out 6 years and counting.

BP has bought up almost all documentaries on the subject before they came out and spent so much in advertising that NO MEDIA will report on what's really going on. Ed Schultz did and two months later he was fired by MSNBC!

We have to have a political revolution before we devolve into anarchy because these companies just keep pushing for more and more! They are like the Terminator because THEY WILL NOT STOP!!!
