it'd be cool if we came up with a way to move an insane number of people out of harms way quick, because that's probably gonna be a problem that keeps coming up

in my wildest fantasyland scenario we'd appropriate every aircraft carrier, cargo plane, container and cruise ship and dedicate them to getting people out of places where they'll die

but even if you could get everyone to a habitable place they'd still be in danger from chuds who're mad about Those Fuckers getting Our poo poo, and why travel somewhere else to become a genocide victim if you can be genocided at home?

Whereas here in Iceland, it's been sunny enough I've worn shorts the last 3 days. Way too early for this even if it's welcome.

on an earlier jeff thing he was talking about having called the governor to ask that he make the toll roads free, and then he gestured all over the state of OK on his map saying like all these roads are toll roads and he doesn't want people getting stuck at toll gate traffic while a tornado might be barreling down on them


I knew OK boned its finances, but how wide spread are toll roads there as a way to raise pennies??

they're extremely popular because it's taking a public resource and turning it into private profit

Indiana keeps trying to ram mass tolling through, basically every highway in the state except mysteriously not the really busy bit that most of the affluent suburban people take into and out of the city

looking at Zillow to see if that map tracks to the affluent white suburbs like the proposed plan in Indiana does and all I can say is holy hell, Tulsa is midwest levels of egregiously redlining. In retrospect I guess that's not terribly surprising considering the local government's history re: black people having nice things

jeff is now 25 miles north of Altus in SW OK driving directly into the death zone, I think he said he is going to shut down the youtube stream for now, and restart it in 15 minutes, and in 45 minutes to an hour will be in another death zone if the first one isn't cool

It varies

in Indiana the toll road setup was especially egregious and as a result got shouted down, they're probably gonna try to ram it through again soon anyway

fun fact, 2/3 of OK is treated as a tribal reservation for tax purposes, even though the nations there have been stripped of their power. However, they are given financial incentives that encourage them to work as defense contractors for the DoD, and other policies have been put in place to make sure that this remains a steady industry

quote:

Most former Indian reservations in Oklahoma were dissolved in preparation for Oklahoma's admission as a state in the early twentieth century. Prior to this, both Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory contained suzerain Indian nations that had legally established boundaries. The US Federal government broke up collective tribal landholdings through the allotment process before the establishment of Oklahoma as a state in 1907. Tribal jurisdictional areas replaced the tribal governments,

In 1998 the IRS issued Notice 98-45 which established the boundaries of the Former Indian Reservations in Oklahoma. For tax purposes, current and former lands owned by Indian tribes are treated as if they are an Indian reservation, regardless of current ownership. Approximately 2/3 of the State of Oklahoma is treated as if it were an Indian reservation for tax purposes.

A HUBZone is a Small Business Admnistration program that provides incentives for companies to locate and employ people in Historically Underutilized Business Zones. In addition to income criteria, any lands within the external boundaries of a Federally Recognized Indian Reservation, or a former Indian reservation in Oklahoma is included. Government agencies are required to spend at least 3% of their budgets with prime contractors located in HUBZones.

Department of Defense Indian Incentive
The Department of Defense (DoD) Indian Incentive Program, part of the Office of Small Business, provides a 5% rebate to a prime contractor, based on the total amount subcontracted to an Indian-Owned Economic Enterprise or Indian Organization. To qualify, the organization must be at least 51% owned by an entity (or tribal member) of a federally recognized tribe.
