Beach businesses desperate for cash, WALA, November 1, 2010: Shuckers Oyster Bar at the Wharf is not closed, but it looks like it. At noon on Monday, what should be the middle of the lunch rush, there were only two tables in the restaurant. ... told us the restaurant has only received one check for just $1,000. She knows many other businesses are in the same fix and she said without help soon the local economy will completely collapse. "This is going to be true devastation for a large part of our community if something is not done," she said.

1. Where is this happening?

I would assume somewhere on the Gulf of Mexico, but have no idea where. It's devastating, no matter where it is, and I feel sorry for everyone involved.

2. Sorry your money was used to buy-off politicians, many of

them Democrats. While CEO's of internet poker sites are afraid to even fly through the US because they'll be arrested when they change planes, the CEO of BP was wined and dined in the Whitehouse. Stupid internet poker CEO's just don't know enough to set aside a few million to pay off our pols.

3. Yes, that sums it up completely.

And I can't say more for fear of violating the rules of this Discussion Board.

6. This is the face of corporate greed

and a useless justice system.

I feel so absolutely awful for what has transpired, is transpiring, and will transpire. To all of you who call the affected areas home, you have my sincerest condolences.
