    Point of fact, when you build a pipeline, you do everything in your power to prevent leaks. Oil spills are magnitudes more expensive than anything you would spend on construction; cost of cleanup, lost product, bad optics, bad for relationships with your easement/row partners, god help you everyone is coming after you legally from the EPA down to the guy who smelled it from his backyard 5 miles away etc. so beyond any moral argument about the environment it's just in the pipeline owners' interest to keep product in the line.

    Pipelines are still massive complicated feats of engineering where even one crew member fucking up their job can cause a failure so shit does happen. If you look at the historical record incidents are way down and continuing to fall though. The #1 cause of incidents are third party idiots doing un-permitted excavation hitting lines. Companies are spending millions on education campaigns to try to get people to actually do their own responsibility and follow the law.

    So when the 3rd party idiot puts a hole in the pipeline when he is doing unauthorized digging, you immediately call your lawyer and file a lawsuit against the Bank that lent you the money to build the pipeline correct?

    That's the way I hear it is done from Social Justice Warriors.

    You should also go after the bank holding the mortgage of the third party idiot for loaning him the money to get a house and therefore have the chance to be a third party idiot

    Maybe we should send an invite to AOC to provide a business 101 class. She made drinks one time and talked to drunk people.

    Now she is screaming and yelling at CEO's.

    I would put her resume against any of yours!

    Did you know she was a community organizer once? What have you done?!!! That's what I thought!!

    You guys are making a lot of assumptions. You know nothing about the pipeline spill and therefore have zero knowledge of whether the bank could be held liable. Yes, under the right circumstances they could be held liable. I'm not sure if they could in this instance.

    But keep up with your ignorance cause AOC is in your head.

    Yes, but he was technically correct and just as Hillary's comments regarding blacks being turned away from the polls on account of their skin color was based upon fact while being completely factually inaccurate.

    This is what you do to yourself when you lack the ability to admit when you've put your head up your ass and you're incapable of shame.

    So a business person gets a loan to open a restaurant and he/she/they kitchen has a fire, burns down a business next store. The bank providing the loan should be required to pay for clean up and remodel?

    Am I tracking correctly?
