My state already engages in brutal necessary resource extraction from our neighbors, while selling their own resources back to them for much more than we pay or “invest,” domestically and abroad, like the rest of the global West. Just because some residents get more where they reside doesn’t mean those states aren’t directly and indirectly engaged in the same practices.
