    On another thread, another lemming explained that our logging industry can’t even use the trees from national parks because we’ve specialized all of our mills to specifically sized (and possibly specific kinds of?) trees. The trees from national parks would basically just end up being used for pulp instead of building homes or something.

      building homes

      You think anyone in this administration gives a shit about the housing situation!? This is an article about our (We The People) national forests! They’re stripping the country for parts. Fuck, when’s the next date we all protest and march!?

        not to be rude but why would you think it would matter at all? they know people don’t want this and they don’t care. power cedes nothing without a demand. the tool you’re looking for is violence, not protest.

      Yeah American lumber is heavily reliant on forestry since in the long run it’s easier, why fuck around building infrastructure and moving equipment when you can just set a couple acres aside and cut them every couple of years. Also I’m pretty sure this also applies to our pulp production so even that would make it a waste of time to go after national forests.

      We may actually entirely side step Trump’s stupidity and evilness on this simply because the industry has moved on from clear cutting. Also while there are probably some mills that can process Lumber from the parks they are probably specialized and also have their own designated forests, for example the guys who process Lumber for the USS Constitution.
