They occurred in Oklahoma to a much greater degree, and the Oklahoma Geological Survey (the state level USGS) published information demonstrating it was the fault of fracking.
If course, that was after oil companies (specifically Harold Hamm) and the University of Oklahoman's President, David Boren, attempted to stop them from publishing.

Nationalize the California energy grid. Privatization and deregulation set the state on fire.

While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. by shiruken
You have it exactly backwards. They stock what they can make the most profit from, not what the customer wants to buy. It's the myth of "voting with your dollar."

You're rewriting history. No one demanded the iPhone.
What kind of backwards nonsense is it to claim consumers want plastic clamshell packaging? That's just profit motive. It's all supply side.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with consumer choice.

Except you have it exactly backwards. We don't choose how the world is built or what is produced. "Voting with your dollar" as an idea is ludicrous.
And public transit? You have to be out of your head. Outside of dense cities, public transport in the US is an afterthought, at best.

"Just Asking Questions" aka "JAQ'ing off" is a common bad-faith argument used by those lying about their intent.
