Invisible hand not seen in North Dakota oil boom

A ProPublica story shows more than 1,000 accidental spills of oil and other chemicals in North Dakota's oil patch, with plenty of unreported spills tainting the environment.

Ah, I love the toxic smell of economic progress.

They don't have beaches, therefore this won't affect tourism, therefore it won't hurt the economy, therefore who gives a shit? Plus think of the JOB CREATORS!!!!!!! who will be hiring for clean-up.

Win-win for the economy.

 

If the invisible hand can't be seen, it's living up to its name

 

Bah. It's just North Effin' Dakota.

No one will know.

(Until people start dying.)

 

My advice: get used to oil-flavored water. Maybe get a can of 3-In-1, each time you have a glass of aqua, put a few drops in so you can prepare for the future. And start putting petroleum jelly on your toast.

 

The landeople ratio up there is pretty big. You could be dumping arsenic by the ton and I doubt anyone would get sick.

Just buy bottled water. If you can find it on the shelves at the Williston Wal-Mart. If you make it inside after dark without being raped.

 

Hope they don't spill any on the nuke silos.
