  1. Of course. What good is nature if we can’t plunder it for all it’s worth? This is how you make a place GREAT! You deplete it of all there is and then move on with your bounty to then next unravaged place and continue to conquer all that is good about it, patting yourself on the back for being the greatest ever.

  2. America, does your president realise how long it takes for trees to grow, before you can cut them down to build houses?
    Asking for a friend 😁

  5. these people are morons. it would take a generation to substantially increase us lumber production. canada supplies 30% of the us lumber market. the us lumber industry was neutered in the 70s and 80s it’s not going to get bigger again.

  6. Most of the mills closed down post mid 2000’s. They simply are gone. It would take years and massive investment to get them going again.

  7. Is there even a lumber shortage? Not seeing anything about this online

  8. Everything is for sale in his eyes as long as he profits. Still hoping for a heart attack or lightning strike on the golf course

  10. Where are the sources? This might as well be some randos twitter post if they’re not going to cite anything.

    Journalism has gone to such shit.
