the one that owns the camp should get reimbursed for taxes and/or fees associated with the camp

the fisherman who had his favorite fishing area closed for a few months doesn't deserve anything

that is absurd

From what I can tell (and I still can't verify that these recreational fishermen checks are true), BP is doing this of their own volition. They did not obligate themselves to this in the settlement agreement.

This whole shitshow is about people who weren't affected.

Not what I said. But when you make deadly decisions in an effort to pad the bottom line, you pay the fricking price. I don't give a frick if you are BP , GE, a mom and pop grocery or the Pope himself.

right

still doesn't matter

Vibram paid out a huge lawsuit because of false health claims. If you could prove that you have ever owned a pair of Vibrams, they would reimburse you. I have owned several pairs of Vibrams over the years, but I loved them and never had problem with them. I could have got about $300 for the shoes that I had owned, but I'm not a piece of shite, so I didn't take the free money for no reason.

And like I said earlier, oftentimes there is no mechanism for these people to be reimbursed.

Nerd.

And your analogy is a bit off. Vibrams never negatively affected you. The spill absolutely negatively affected recreational fishermen.

because they could't fish in their favorite spot for a bit? please

and plenty have said "I fit the criteria, why would't I take the free money?"

It's the same as people who flop around on the ground after a fender bender.

It's a shite move and I don't associate with people who do such things. Just because you can does not mean you should.

barely

I'm trying to think of other scenarios that fit this

say if I had a hunting camp and the neighboring property was set on fire and it burned my woods down so that I couldn't hunt that hunting season at my camp

would I expect the neighbor to pay me? of course not

Ok, So your an average fisherman who just so happens to own a camp in the affected area. On average you make 3 fishing trips a month.
or
Your an above average fisherman who fished the exact same area but 6 times a month. Does not own a camp.

Which one do you feel deserves a payment?


None, actually.

This might be the only way for camp owners to be reimbursed for their expenses. If they want to go this route to accomplish that, go for it.

even when they couldn't fish

they could still go to their camps, they could still go boating, and they could still fish, just not keep the fish
