One environmental group director described the move as “a costly bureaucratic reshuffle” that will put more power in the hands of corporations and states to log, mine and drill public lands.
President Donald Trump’s administration will move the U.S. Forest Service headquarters out of the nation’s capital to Salt Lake City as part of an organizational overhaul that involves shuttering research facilities in 31 states and concentrating resources in the West, the agency announced Tuesday.
I’m curious to watch how the privatization of public lands plays out in the West. The libertarians and party first conservatives voted for Mr. New York City, they aren’t going to be happy when he sells off the land their cattle graze on to his buddies, sells their water to his tech bros to cool their data centers, and some fuckwad from Texas buys up all the prime hunting units but never visits. They’re already flabbergasted that ICE stole their labor force, they were supposed to take someone else’s labor force!
They’ll just blame it on their usual suspects.
You have to remember these are people of the land.
You know…
Thanks Obama
We could pay off our national debt selling these lands off (not advocating this). But instead we will practically give it away to wealthy people so they can develop or sell it. Another theft in the making.
