That is a shame, but nothing new here. See the rollback of protections of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and Trump trying to open the Alaskan refuge for drilling. This administration and Republicans, in general, have zero regards for the environment if they can make a dollar now. It won't be their problem when they die.

Not to defend anyone... but there has to be a balance. you cant lock everything up all the time... but you cant let it get destroyed either. I'm against drilling in the Alaskan refuge, though I'm pro energy independence. When technology/technique is safe enough, which I don't think it is, then I wouldn't have an issue with it.

As much as time as I spend outdoors, the raping and pillaging of public lands is the #1 jimmy rustler for me of this administration - however this issue has been brewing for much longer than Trump in office - old rich white guys are buying huge swaths of land out west and closing off access to public lands where there were previously easements for trails, roads, etc.  "fuck you, I got mine" is at the core of the modern GOP.

They are actively working to dismantle the gov't from the inside out for the benefit of for profit enterprises, that, no surprise, are run by old rich white guys who want to get richer.

And you cannot sit there and tell me with a straight face "this is all fine because the economy is good and the fed aint bothering me"

public land and sell offs... all sides are guilty. one of my biggest opposition to letting states control the countries public land is because they are HIGHLY likely to sell off public lands to pay debts. I thought the Fed was the protection against this... but now they are acting a fool.

This does come up on the federal level about every 20-30 years... but we have to smash this ASAP.

Also... Dem RJ... your boy Obama opened up mineral and mining rights to Chinese companies on our public land. They are literally taking US gold back to China. its not all "rich white guys."
