Something else for you assholes: Trump is also cutting down our trees.
This is a bad idea, for aesthetic reasons. But also for economic reasons. Remember, we’ve just gutted our agricultural industry because bigoty Beebs thinks that any Mexican on a farm was just waiting for their chance at the American dream - murdering a nursing student. Where are we finding the folks to do this work also?
Back in the day, and by that, I mean, yesterday, we would certainly produce some of our lumber here, but we also imported quite a bit from British Columbia, which is part of Canada, our former friend. We got a pretty good deal on it.
But now we’re in the age of stupid, so we’re doing stupid things.
My favorite aspect of this was what was said in the executive order, stating that this would help prevent forest fires. I mean, obviously. If we flooded the whole country that would do that also.
But from my understanding, clear cutting forest is not the recommended way to prevent wildfires. You have to be more selective. Also, it’s hilarious that the one time there is some sort of implicit concession that global warming is happening, we take an action so that a bunch of oligarchs to make even more money, instead of doubling down on carbon capture.
What a country. What a time to be alive.
Thanks again, you pieces of shit who voted for this monster.
