The worst part is that many of these forestry jobs paid for themselves with tourism revenue.

Don't need em if we're gonna clear cut them so new golf courses can be built anyway. Unexploited land cannot exist, and those jobs were in the way of that.
Forests aren't exactly "unexploited".
Are they giving the ultra rich a new playground, or place to put a factory, helicopter pad, etc? If no, they aren't exploited enough.
They've poisoned and clear-felled and strip-mined this earth
Made a cess pit of the paradise that was ours by birth
They've raped and they've burned and they've plundered our world
Our banner of resistance will now be unfurled
We're nailing our colours right up to the mast
The sands of time are running out fast
To stop the nutters destroying our home
Kidnapped from our children from whom it's on loan
Enough is enough is enough of their greed
Mass eco-defence is what the earth needs
Terra-ist action all over the land
To stop the lunacy the rich have got planned
E.L.F. strike in the dead of night
See the bulldozers are burning bright
Construction area totally trashed
Earth-rape machinery utterly smashed
Some might say that we're too "extreme"
But all we want is air and water that's clean
And a green earth not a desert is what we need Don't let them sacrifice it on their altar of greed
Rise up and conquer your fear
They can be stopped like Jose-Maria
Our world a toxic slag-heap they will make
So take whatever action you feel it's right to take
It's up to you it's up to me to make a stand
Our generation holds it's future in it's hands
Time to fight back let them do their worst
Green anarchy in action - put the earth first!
Curious how they'll try to hide the oil derricks on the courses considering how much public space they want to sell so they can start drilling. Or maybe they'll just be gilded with sponsor logos on the side.
Nearly every job they cut was like that. The government only doesn't make money if you're an idiot businessman looking in - it generates HUGE returns for the population over time. Or, it did.
It always could've been better.
Why benefit lot people later when few rich guy get richer now?
It will cost billions if not trillions. But that money goes into the pockets of rich people so it's okay.
Time to watch Lord of War again, its a tradition now when we get into a new conflict. I've been unintentionally doing it since it came out...
I really enjoy the whole movie, but man that intro sequence.
So good
blowing up our own kids to own the libs
A single gbu57 is 20ish million dollars. To come close to damaging any of these sites you'd expect 5-10 per strike iirc there's 7 bases with hits so 7x5=35 7x10=70, 35 x20 700 million or 1.4 billion.
From there or depends on what they tossed into the holes after they made them, I'm gonna guess fuel air bombs.
