@hammerlock14@pmcdunnough It’s possible to see that you’re not going to bully 25% of the worlds economy, while also recognizing that the US leadership is cooked. Two things can be true man
@passfrog@RepTenney Albertan here. The separation movement was never going to be taken seriously. It’s a small group of people with no serious leadership. There is a massive campaign to make them out to be nut jobs.
@ztisdale Pointing out the fallacy of the logic of “just deal with it” is hardly defeatist, it’s realistic. Do we need to do better in f course, our govt priorities are all fucked up. Considering the rhetoric your leader has put out there, are you shocked are defensivness?
@EdgeCrusher14 lol…there’s is a lot more to it than just area. Should we do better yes, but you really have no idea how big and remote our wilderness is.
@Minnyfilipino@biglargeturtle We have to be better stewards of the land. Our govt priorities are all kinds of fucked up in many…many ways. My point is that there is no simple fix. The trees general used for lumber are a plentiful. They are cost prohibitive to say the least.
@Minnyfilipino@biglargeturtle Doing nothing isn’t the answer. That is correct. I live here man. I’m a firefighter. The last thing I wanna do is see people shit burn down. However, my point is that it’s not just “build roads”. Our country is enormous. Most of it is completely uninhabited.
@Minnyfilipino@biglargeturtle I don’t think you understand. The majority of the trees in question have zero value.
Also, the amount of people screaming “but socialism” then say we need government incentives or the govt to do more is quite perplexing
@Minnyfilipino@biglargeturtle For a company to justify logging there has to be trees worth logging and there has to be access. I have worked in these areas as a wildland firefighter. It’s a much more complicated issue than people can comprehend without coming here and seeing it.
