I should not need to have new reasons for hating this scumbag. But fuck is dismantling the park system even profitable? Fuck is the point here?
Fdr, like all of american presidents was no saint and maybe arguably a fucking atrocity. But dam the park system he helped give to us americans, its so good what the fuck. Why fuck it up?
Oil prospecting
Industrial agriculture (especially cattle farms)
Lumber trade
Suburban developments
Military bases
Espionage training
Weapons testing
Retail chains
Data centers
And the list goes on and on...
Thank you. I hate your answer but yea i get it. A few of the last ones dont need to crush our national parks in order to exist, but yea.
data centers is likely on the top of the list.
Its something to pillage. Its something beautiful to destroy. Its an outside to cull, so people have nothing and nowhere to do go or be that isnt controlled owned and surveilled.
The obly surprise is how slow its hapoening.
the USA exists to make profit for corporations and oligarchs
when you look at it with that in mind, lots of things make sense
