Dept of Interior Looking To Sell Public Lands

[hank4elk]

Comrade 51/50, in full speed ahead mode.

Taking billions for personal use. Chump change with a digital trail.

People forget. There is no pardon for treason.
2 years to ride out.

At first glance, I don’t like this one bit. More info needed obviously, the devil is in the details.

Conservation means development as much as it does protection. But this admin has certainly not earned the benefit of doubt in my view.

I don't think more details are needed here. The cards are on the table. Multiple times over.

I disagree conservation means wise use and restraint. Development is just that. Needed at times but not part of conservation.

Willful blindness.

Bacon pants. Bacon pants and a week long wilderness camping trip in grizzly country for every proponent of this plan.


Grizzlies and ravens gotta eat too.

We're reaping what we sowed.

The American people chose this. Republicans chose this. There's not a damn thing 1/2 of us can do about it.

What's the other half going to do?

Write your Congressional Rep and tell them how this is important to you. There isn't much BLM land east of Mississippi River. Hearing from people in that area might raise this on the radar (although it is on the radar).

There are articles of impeachment outstanding against Vought. That is a great thing to support if you want this stuff to go away. In the end, all this is about money and power.

I think the recent election results show that we did not chose this. The sweeping defeat of the R's is the consequence of betraying the people over many issues. But I get the sentiment.

Sell out.

 

[NDGuy]

Can they do this without approval from Congress?

Like this admin gives a shit about that

You think both political parties would realize after a beat down at the polls, especially when deeply one party states flip seats they woukd have personal reflection and say "hey our platform didn't work. Maybe we should change a few things." It just proves how out of touch our political parties are with the American people.

I agree you would, but this doesn’t really seem to be a needle-mover nationally.

I am aware of the “90% against” statistic, but there is no chance 90% of the population has any idea (or cares) about public land.

Any sign of this at all on Fox/CNN? It seems to be a niche issue, the challenge is changing that.
