    I live in Louisiana, rural parts. Nearly everyone here is employed in Oil & Gas to some degree. Ads play constantly trying to sway public opinion against the numerous lawsuits being filed against these companies for consistently breaking these regulations.

    They are all gonna love this and think it’s gonna be a “boon for jobs”.

    I fucking hate it here. The people and culture of this area offer nothing of value to the world and actively make it a worse place.
