[lbo-talk] Why Capitalism Cannot be Tamed

Agreeing to go along with totally missing the point of my side of this whole

Interior with the BLM or Reclamation? Because Interior is so much less in
the pocket of extractive industries?  There wasn't an EPA at the time.
It is rather ironic that you got lost in the trees and missed the forest -
the level of analysis at which this exchange is trying to work - isn't it?
