      In LA even. Don’t remember where I read it, but did read an article that there are tones of oil dereks in LA, but they all have a facade on the outside to make it look like a normal building.

      The La Brea tar pits are a type of hydrocarbon after all.

        Yeah California and Texas actually have the oil industry behind all their bullshit posturing about economic ideologies.

        How is that a distraction? I saw this post, knew that I’d seen this photo before, and commented the year it’s from. Please go ahead and explain what is objectionable about that.

          Regardless of the photo, it’s happening now in America!

            My narrative may have been false, but the fact that people found it believable tells you something

    Clearly they invaded California for their strategic reserve of almonds. I wish that was more of a joke than it is given how many places we’ve actually messed with for the sake of some random luxury produce.

    I will admit that I did not have “start of the American civil war” On my 2025 Bingo card. I thought it was a couple more years away.

        I didn’t and still don’t because I don’t believe America has it in itself to pick one of the good timelines.

        After Jan I said we’d have national guard in progressive strongholds within 2 years. Didn’t think they’d go only months later. Oh well, down seems to be the only way to get to up from our current predicament and the fast we hit bottom and more folks experience pain, the sooner we can grow collective values that bind us together again and take the reins back. Hope the fog clears again in my lifetime.

    And why did America invade America? Because America intends to get rich off of America’s oil.

      They say history doesn’t exactly repeat itself, but it damn sure seems to rhyme a hell of a lot of the time.
