Thank you for sharing your Neocities mechanics findings! I learned a lot and now feel less crazy about some less-than-consistent behavior I've witnessed over the past couple years. I will definitely be referring back to this in the future! :) I also loved your writing about passenger rail! I share the exact same sentiments as you outlined in that first bit of the page
it's a cutthroat industry too... recently read an article about a tribe trying to open an off-reservation casino near a populated area, and every other tribe that already had a casino in the area tried to block it to protect their business, though they did kind of have a point that the prospective location was very far away from that tribe's historic lands
Also I cackled at your "buffaloaded" article. As a native who works for a tribe that has many casinos, you really nailed our whole thing.. haha

I'm pretty sure you're referring to my tribe, no joke we did that within the last year or three.. haha
i found the original article i read: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-09/oregon-tribe-casino-bid-sparks-furor-over-ancestral-homeland ... but while looking for it i stumbled upon another similar one: https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-07-23/the-fight-over-a-mega-casino-sparks-a-debate-about-tribal-sovereignty
Good reads; unfortunately, this is a common issue. The state of Oklahoma especially loves to infringe upon tribal sovereignty!
