The fact that the sanctity of such a place must be enshrined into law in order for capitalists to abstain from raping it tells you everything you need to know about the system.

For people who aren't aware, there's a very good reason why Native Americans especially wouldn't trust uranium mines or any uranium refinement happening on or around tribal or sacred lands. Iirc it's the world's 3rd largest nuclear disaster and the government pretended nothing happened for a long time.

Good, we don't need to destroy the world more than we already have, especially when it would mean fucking over Native Americans again. But the fact that we have to do this in order to protect people and the planet is ridiculous. It shouldn't be an idealism for human lives to matter more than corporate profits.

Oh okay, to prevent uranium mining. I knew he wouldnt be getting in the way of fossil fuels.

The monument should be a lump of concrete blocks in the shape of a cock.

Mining would be okay if it was well regulated and controlled and monitored but it’s not. Grown adults can’t be trusted to be responsible and seem to always ruin shit and not clean it up. So we all suffer for it.
