Part of me wishes that billions of dollars of oil and gas are found under Native American Reservations so they will turn to drilling to make money and stop prostituting themselves with all those casinos.
Unfortunately, I’m guessing they would end up doing both.
The Mescalero Rez sits on a bit part of the Delaware basin.
Oil companies want to drill, natives want the work (from being a roughneck, to selling food and hotel rooms to rough necks to helping liberate roughnecks of checks at the Casino!)
Washington masters interfere.
