Mainecat Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Trump strips protections for Tongass forest, opening it to logging Source: The Hill The Trump administration on Wednesday lifted protections for Alaska's Tongass National Forest, a move that will expand logging in the nation’s largest old-growth forest. A notice posted in the Federal Register lifts the so-called Roadless Rule for the Tongass, a Clinton-era prohibition on road construction and timber harvesting on many Forest Service lands. Under the Trump administration’s changes, the nearly 9.4 million acres of inventoried roadless land in Tongass Forest would once again be considered suitable timberlands. It’s a major blow to environmental efforts to protect one of the world’s largest temperate rainforests--the Forest Service found in 2016 that it stores more carbon than any other forest in the country.

Holy sweet Jesus... how fucking self unaware the old fuck is... I know of nothing more annoying that a person who created a great life then retires and goes against those same policies that helped them create that life. Its even far worse than the young idealistic liberal whose parents provided them with a great life with the policies they are too ignorant to understand that gave it to them. A person like MC knows very well the type of America that created his lifestyle he enjoyed and now enjoys and it sure the hell isn't the America he wants. Maybe its because he has no kids that he can't see what's right in front of his face and the desire for them to have that same opportunity to CREATE that life for themselves and not have a worse one come at the hands of a socialist economy and society.

These are the same type of people that move to an area because they like it, then continually try to change it to how it was where they moved from.
