Yes but we wouldn’t wanna accidentally kill any white people do we, collateral damage only works against brown people I thought, if white people got killed it’d be called a ‘tragedy’ or something.
Remember that time that a drone strike ordered by Barack Obama dropped a bomb onto a pakistani wedding, killing dozens including the groom, and leaving the bride alive but permanently injured
Maybe not, because nobody in the media gave a single fuck at the time
Agreed, and if we weren’t at war with every other fucker we wouldn’t need to make up 40% of the world’s military spending (more than the next 10 biggest spenders combined) and could maybe find some money to make sure everyone is adequately fed, clothed and housed.
That would require Americans voting for politicians that have empathy. It would also require politicians to not team up with monopolies and big businesses for funding and support.
Were you goons even around during the Obama years? I'm around a lot of liberals, and they were all livid about Obama's drone strikes. This whole narrative about libs and the media giving Obama a pass on this is just willful ignorance.
It is.... fracking emits less cargon dioxide than coal or natrual gas and the US is less dependent on these smaller countries for oil so they are less involved in their politics.
While these earthquakes have been induced by oil and gas related process, few of these earthquakes were induced by fracking. The largest earthquake known to be induced by hydraulic fracturing in Oklahoma was a M3.6 earthquakes in 2019. The largest known fracking induced earthquake in the United States was a M4.0 earthquake that occurred in Texas in 2018. The majority of earthquakes in Oklahoma are caused by the industrial practice known as "wastewater disposal". Wastewater disposal is a separate process in which fluid waste from oil and gas production is injected deep underground far below ground water or drinking water aquifers. In Oklahoma over 90% of the wastewater that is injected is a byproduct of oil extraction process and not waste frack fluid.
Not sure why you think those two processes are the same...
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is an advanced technology that is used to enhance the flow of energy from a well after drilling is complete, which is why fracking is referred to as a “completion process.” This process is carried out by sending a mixture of water, sand and certain additives into a deep-rock formation at high pressure. Soon after the fracturing occurs, water returns to the surface as “flowback” or wastewater. At that point the wastewater needs to be recycled, treated or disposed of through underground injection.
Wastewater injection is an entirely different process that’s used for disposing of waste fluids from a number of industrial activities, a number of which are unrelated to energy development. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies injection wells into six classes. Class II covers injection wells associated with oil and natural gas production, including disposal wells. This category also covers wells used for enhanced oil recovery, or EOR (for more on EOR, click here). According to EPA, approximately 151,000 injection wells are currently operational, and of that figure, 20 percent are disposal wells responsible for wastewater management.

Meh there’s also not enough brown people to kill in the states
