    My only hope is that Democrats reverse this immediately once they get into power.

    We’ve already destroyed so much of our forest land and barely have any old growth forests left — this is a terrible decision

    Just want to point out that *if* lumber is a resource critical to national defense, then cutting a ton of trees down now *degrades* national security.

    “Hanson said logging alters the microclimate of forests, creating hotter and drier conditions that helps wildfires, such as the events that recently ravaged Los Angeles, to spread faster. ”

    WooHoo more fires.

    Don’t focus on the environmental impact of this. I know that’s most here’s go to play, but if you share this focus on the fact that this will result in less land to hunt on and less land for camping and fishing. Focus on things that Trump supporters care about and actionable effects they will see. There’s a large population on the right that loves outdoors activities focus on that.

    It’s really incredible how fast this fucker is radicalizing me.

    My first instinct here was to start spiking trees despite previously being adamant against it due to the danger it poses to loggers.

  7. Hey he’s just taking a page out of his buddy Kim Jong Un’s economic playbook
