More to the point, who cares?

The State of Oklahoma doesn't.

The fossil fuel companies don't.

The "wastewater" disposal companies don't.

None of the people who are profitting from this exploitation care
and, apparently, far too few of the actual Oklahoma voters care.

I feel sorry for the ones who *do* care and who *do* try to get
this corrupt & outrageous situation addressed but they are just
being swamped by the mindless morons who surround them.

Poor bastards.
