58. The GOP has always wanted to open up all public land
Sun Mar 2, 2025, 12:16 PM

to resource extraction. They say BLM land should be given to the states to manage, which of course would basically be given away to corporate interests.The Republicans make it sound like the locals will make a lot of money (a few will I suppose), but most of the money will go to non-locals who will come in and do the work with the companies making a killing. The locals are left with the waste and the pollution. It's happened many times before.
