In a terse statement sent after the Zurich stock market closed, Transocean said it would distribute some $1 billion in dividend to shareholders, or about $3.11 per share....
Transocean moved to Switzerland two years ago to protect its low corporate tax rate, and few in the city had heard of the company, even three weeks after the April 20 blast that resulted in more than 4 million gallons (15 million liters) of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico from the well drilled by the BP-leased rig. Eleven workers were killed in the explosion.Speechless.
I don't usually respond like this, but in the face of such freakin' global evil and oppression = destruction of the planet, I think I'm gonna get drunk.

I feel like I did get drunk, though all I did really was have three beers over 6 hours. But it was 6 hours in a very crowded space, with very bad seating for someone with my condition, and non-stop assault by music blasted out by both house system and the band way too loud. Didn't get home until about 4 AM, and as usual, this sort of experience leaves me feeling battered and beat-up physically, and unable to sleep. I'm such a delicate thing!
Thus now I'm in a sullen state of merely hating everything.
Love, C.
