International Wyoming Is Rare Earth

[Deorum]

The left fantasizes about going off the grid and staring a commune with their friends and living off the land. The right fantasize about being cow folk on a working ranch somewhere desolate and away from people.

Neither side realizes how much hard work either dream actually is in reality

Even TR failed at it in North Dakota, despite all of the determination and financial backing you could have. Most people possess neither, and will fare worse. It's brutal and unforgiving.

In the end they just want to LARP the life and never really live like that.

I had no idea this existed, and didn't expect to find it amusing.

Suicide rate in Wyoming is insane for a reason, in a per capita basis there are more suicides per capita in Wyoming that there are murders in Mexico.

Seems like a good place to visit but not really to live in.

I should've posted this in here instead of the DJT swing state domination thread. It can be rough for some people, and it's been this way for a long time.

Many rural farming areas severely lack mental health care, or any health care facilities.
The views on mental health are changing, but a large portion still thinks people should just "get over it".

A good example of this is found in subject of OP, @BFoe.

The matter of whether an area of land should be exploited necessitates striking a balance based on assessment of a site's natural aesthetic, geological, and ecological values.

I was there last year. It’s beautiful.

Jackson Hole was a little fart sniffy and loaded with California douche bags(like me) but the state is beautiful.

I did stay at a hotel/saloon in a rural place called Alpine that was straight out of an episode of Bar Rescue.

We were locked out of our room at 2 in the morning because they deactivated our room cards and it took an hour for us to get in because there was nobody minding the desk.

We had to go inside the bar which was packed at 2am(on a Wednesday) and found the desk lady..but she didn’t know how to reactivate the keys and the lady that could went home. She said the maintenance guy has a key and should be around but couldn’t find him in the bar. Turns out he was in a maintenance closet drunk off his ass playing poker with a bunch of bikers. He finally showed up an hour later.

Epic Shot.

Poisoning your constituants to own the libs.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Article says Wyoming closed/plugged 6,250 of its orphaned wells, do you know if that was with or without federal monies?

Are people being poisoned by these orphaned wells in Wyoming?

I can't find anything regarding groundwater contamination, etc. because of the orphaned wells. But, if that is indeed happening, I'd like to read up on it.

Forgotten oil and gas wells linger, leaking toxic chemicals

There are about 2 million abandoned oil and gas wells nationwide that haven't been properly plugged with cement.

apnews.com

Ranchers reported abandoned oil wells spewing wastewater. A new study blames fracking. • Louisiana Illuminator

Fracking wastewater, injected underground for permanent disposal, traveled 12 miles through geological faults before bursting to the surface.

It has been almost entirely without, but rejecting federal funds is part of a larger trend with Wyo's increasingly stubborn anti-government right-wing position. It also turned down money for electric vehicle charging stations (lol), rejected USDA food assistance, and refused to take part in the EPA's pollution reduction program. A lot of people consider the Southern US to be the deepest of red states - and that may be true in terms of god-bothering religiosity - but as far as political majority partisanship, it really isn't close. The South has massive populations of Democrat voters (i.e., black people) and Wyoming...doesn't. It's Rare Earth.

It's just straight-up Mighty White, Mighty Right Republican and absolutely hostile to the idea of change. It celebrates and takes pride in having the lowest population of any state in the country at around 584k, and only Alaska has a lower pop density than its 6.0 per square mile (even NoDak has nearly twice that). It isn't just the relative absolute lack of amenities, services, opportunities, and savage winters (+ insane, relentless wind) that keep people the fuck out of there, a lot of the state is under the purview of the Feds and ownership of the public. The majority of the pop lives in the High Plains: Cheyenne is over 800 ft higher in elevation than the "Mile High City" of Denver, Colorado; Laramie is a full 2,000 feet higher.

You'll never forget the first time seeing these mountains.

Nope. North Dakota.

This is one of the most spectacular geological regions on the planet. North Rim all day, you can't reach it without going past the incredible Vermilion Cliffs before climbing up the plateau 9,000 feet above sea level and through the lush North Kaibab national forest, which is easily one of the healthiest and most regal looking subalpine forests in the world.

Hopefully I get crypto rich well before that.

Are you after money and riches, or just simply the freedom and independence that come with it?

Have you read the Hedera Hashgraph white paper? HBAR's tech is on a different level to any blockchain out there, and retail is (still) way behind the curve -- 10/10 tech, 2/10 marketing. The comparative lack of charlatan influencers and moonboi propagandists is refreshing, HBAR stands on business. A lot of people are looking at it as just one of many with the recent Altcoin surge, but it's really one of one in terms future utility, especially for the next generation of the digital economy and Web3.

BTC is here to stay, but all the gimmick meme shitcoins actually will be dead zero once the wild west crypto casino era comes to an end. This isn't financial advice, and it will need large-scale enterprise/institutional adoption to really blow -- but 30c is still a bonkers bargain to stack (IMO). I was expecting it to drop and stick at 25 before the next DJT run, but you just never know...I don't believe a handful of sensible conversions would hurt if you haven't got a lot of cash on hand right now.

The freedom and independence that a moonshot would provide.

I've held HBAR from the beginning, really good project. I have a little over 10k right now, DCA is a little over a cent. I took some profit at 20 cents, looking to take more at 40 cents.

I'm not a diamond-hander, I buy/sell/trade all of the time as the markets do their thing.

That's a decent bag. It'll probably hit 80 before you have the chance, lol. It got my attention when it broke 50 a few years ago, I jumped in when it plunged to sub-10 and have watched it do basically nothing for three years...until now. There is tons of room for explosive near future growth and ultimately a cap on supply. It is my only long hold, and that's solely based on the belief of its tech utility and the efficiency, scalability, and security.
