some people just don't want to do anything more than complain, and blame others for their uninformed choices, , and the politicians owned by the oil companies are glad of it.

One example of the culture of greed . Standard oil used to run it's own ships, probably to avoid unions, I don't know if they still do. A captain for that company has spent a lot of time at sea working for the company, a hard life. Because as you become more valuable to the ship, the more time you are expected to stay aboard.

it is a very responsible sought after position and pays well, including the retirement pay. Chevron was infamous for sending a riding captain along about six months before a captain was to retire, to try and write them up, fire them and deny them the retirement pay. It's not like they are short of cash over there, just how they do business.
