And Liberal critics, such as de Blasio hurried to conclude this was due to the “greedy corporations” and capitalism.
“It’s not a movie trailer. It’s not a natural disaster, either. It’s what happens when we let corporate greed destroy our planet,” de Blasio tweeted Saturday.
It’s not a movie trailer. It’s not a natural disaster.”

It was later proven that Pemex, the state-owned petroleum company of Mexico was behind the whole incident.
“ – In this case, it is not corporate greed, Mr. Mayor. It is Government inefficiency, stubbornness, and indolence to climate change. Pemex is a State-owned company. But it is a disaster, alright,” Mexican journalist Pascal Beltrán del Río said.
” – Sir. PEMEX is a State-run oil company. It’s been badly managed for decades by the Mexican Government. It’s not a private sector business. Most of its production assets are old or damaged due to poor maintenance. This is not corporate greed but plain State negligence,” one person said.
” – Corporate greed’ had nothing to do with it. The well and pipeline are owned by Pemex, founded when Mexico nationalized private assets. This is socialism in action, Spanky — government incompetence,” another person said.
