Lol. There's an airport by me with the three-letter code of BLM. Since I'm in a red county in a blue state, I thought I could stir up the local Rs by saying our D governor renamed it for the BLM vote.

Please don't - you know they'll believe it and they're deep enough into their victimhood complex that it can only become worse.

"Livestock and Mining" is pretty much what it was designed to be, not sarcastically. It was created by the merger of the US Grazing Service and the General Land Office, the latter of which managed mineral rights (among other things).
