The industry will ignore environmental problems until the chorus is loud enough, then they'll argue there isn't enough information (look at fracking and the Oklahoma earthquakes).

The guy in Oklahoma City who won't move elsewhere isn't finding good tech jobs because there aren't any in Oklahoma City, not because we don't have critical mass.

Living in Oklahoma all the oil & gas companies here are in my experience.

If you look at my github profile, you'll see that I'm in Oklahoma and because it's her job.

However, in others like Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, it is a felony crime.

To this day oklahoma has a very high Native American population and current reservations/nations reflect Indian removal [3] as there are many nations there that did not come from that area.

I'll never forget those guys who pitched in and helped out some kid living in a tiny rural Oklahoma town - they really helped get me to where I am today.

I spent a couple of weeks working from my mom's house in Oklahoma after she got out of the hospital, and being able to use Prime to order an office chair and a folding table (to use as a proper desk) to be delivered out in the boonies was a godsend.

I've given an enlisted navy family from Oklahoma (husband was deployed) get home from a late night run to a distant Walmart - the military pay for an e-3 is low and I imagine tough to support a family of three and there are few other options without a college degree.

I think this is meant to be surprising because people from lesser known instituons are more likely to fall victim to institutional elitism - Sand Hill Road VCs are generally not going to take a University of Oklahoma student as seriously as a Stanford student (at least that's my perception, may not be accurate).

Fortunately, Oklahoma, with their anti-science "we don't believe in global warming and we are against figuring out what is causing these not seen for 100 year earthquakes" is testing out exactly how to cause them.

In the rare cases where this dodge becomes impossible to pull off (e.g., the Oklahoma City bombing by Timothy McVeigh), the attack will be described as an act of "domestic" terrorism, thereby preserving the clear ethnic subtext that is carried by the unmodified term.

Tends to signal "I'm off hunting/shooting, it would be a really good idea to finish before I'm back...." Particularly strong in Texas, at least until the law is judicially nullified as it's been in other states in the nation like Oklahoma, where you to can use lethal force to stop a theft, as in someone walking away holding your TV, after a verbal warning.

This sounds pretty outlandish, but just recently we saw an attempt at this very thing in Oklahoma[0].

Most oil and gas injection wells are in Texas, California, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

Also, people drove from all over (Oklahoma) to go to this job.
