Petition to save Tv Butte in Oakridge!

[u/Turbulent-Law7722]

If we let this project happen, local tourism will go down which will take away jobs and harm our economy, on top of the environment. Here’s hoping I can post the link in the comments?

Personally I think the best bet for evidence is the Lane County Planning page on the project. There (if you have the time and energy) you can read hundreds thousands of pages of arguments for and against the quarry. One good place to start (if you don't instinctively distrust everything produced by a government employee) is the Staff Memo weighing up the initial arguments.

I don't distrust or not distrust. I am just continually let down by folks who post basic shit without posting supporting evidence. Like the basics we learned in high-school to provide supporting evidence to our opposition to whatever we're protesting against.

If you post something in opposition to something common sense dictates you might want to post supporting evidence. It's not that hard to do, in fact your kind of owe it to everyone you're asking to support your point of veiw.

When and in what world have we lost the ability or understanding of providing supporting factual evidence to showcase our sides?

Has America really become this incompetent?

yes...many people in this country chose intentionally to disregard facts due to ignorance and inbred hatred. It's called delusion.

And it's so very sad
