Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: “You can almost hear the chainsaws”

1. Why … does he even care one way or another? The bribe money from this is small potatoes relative to his other scams. When has he ever been in or near a forest?

   Or does each cabinet secretary get their own skimmers?

2. So dumb. Canada has all the lumber we need. But no lets tarrif that and send dipshits out into our forests with chainsaws.

   After we defund the forest service.

3. >”We have massive forests. We just aren’t allowed to use them because of the **environmental lunatics** who stopped us.”

   If he’d ever spent a night by a campfire back in the day, singing camp songs, playing guitar, smelling the red cedar that he’d gathered off the forest floor burning merrily, toasting marshmallows, and watching the fireflies blink, taking a hike in an old growth forest and hearing the deer call when they are in rut…Smelling the sassafras and spice bush, gathering cloud berries, blueberries and mulberries, swimming in a pristine mountain lake, and looking up at the untouched silent sky to see the myriad stars swirling overhead…

   He has forgotten if he ever did this as a kid. He cares more about money. Build, build, build. It’s not enough that we burn Polish wood in our backyard fire pits, now he wants our old growth forests.

   Ever wonder why new furniture is made of fiberboard? Why plywood is layered? It didn’t used to be that way. But we plundered our woods. We failed to replant. We cut them and made fields. Now we have dust storms again. The woods are too young – they cannot hold the soil, and we have massive mudslides.

   There aren’t enough forests to maintain our previous climate. As we chop, we make it harder to grow forests again. It will be decades before forests recover, and yet we harvest and burn them still.

   Greed. Simple, Unadulterated Greed.
   And he calls us “lunatics”. Who is the lunatic, really? Disgusting.
