you think this will be as bad as people are saying?
>>2793853Yes. Or worse.
>>2793853its great if you want the US to use its own resources. China will be blocking access to a lot of critical minerals soon, the US will have to mine their own again, or at least plunder canada for them.
So what's the point of national parks if people can just decide to mine/use them anyway
>>2793853I'm sick of these parasitic bastard dregs. We have the same cockroaches in the old world as well. I wish there was something effective we could do.
>>2793937There isn’t. Even after the day of the pillow boomers will still remain in power because of what they’ve done to institutions and power structures
>>2793853It's a tough call these wild areas have very little infrastructure and people want to preserve them at the same time it's kind of unfair you live in an area with extensive infrastructure and economic development and insist that people in Alaska or the Amazon need to continue living in the stone age to preserve the wilderness while living in civilization. I've always felt it to be a difficult dilemma.
>>2793853>>2793975I am a local, hell no I don't want this road. These multinational mining companies want their corrupt cronies in the state government to sponsor a private mine-access road (no recreational, hunting/subsistence, etc use by ordinary citizens allowed) using public infrastructure funds, local + whatever federal matching they can wring out of the feds via trading political favors. Say nothing of the environmental impacts /out/ists care about, and this is land people feed themselves from. Meat doesn't come from a supermarket up there, it'll come from watersheds soon tainted with mine runoff. They want it here with the expectation we can be treated the same way as thirdies, out of sight out of mind.
>>2793982But muh trickle down. Are you a communist???
>>2793853They are building a road there? Cool I might be able to backpack into the Arrigetch Peaks without paying $2k for a flight.
>>2793879Australia. China are their biggest market but they aren't buying anymore and the Aussies will be keen to stop.
>>2793982>it'll come from watersheds soon tainted with mine runofffunny how conservatives care about this when it affects them personally.
>>2793933Alaska is literally worthless. I wouldn't give you 5 bucks for the whole fucking state. Except... that there's gold, fish, and oil there, if you want to live in the fucking hell hole and work yourself into an early grave trying to extract them. If you're not doing that, there's no reason for Alaska to even exist. Who gives a fuck about some patch of rocky dirt, good for nothing, with a few scrub bushes growing on it nobody is ever going to see? If the moose and bears knew there was a south they could walk to, they wouldn't even be living there.
>>2794111Won't be*
>>2793933The point is so the government can do whatever it wants and you can't.>>2794123Ask me how I know you're a city parasite.
>>2794118Alaskan bush country doesn't fit the usual "rural conservative" mold but you're correct that the industry dick-lickers don't live anywhere that'll be directly affected.
>>2794123>Nevada is literally worthless. I wouldn't give you 5 bucks for the whole fucking state. Except... that there's gold, fish, and brothels there, if you want to live in the fucking hell hole and work yourself into an early grave trying to extract them. If you're not doing that, there's no reason for Nevada to even exist.

>>2794259Keep my states name out of your mouth, citydweller.
>>2793933You do realize other national parks have US routes/highways through them right? National parks don't prevent that.
>>2794123shalom!
