My favorite new Republican lie 🤣

The Republican Party is famous for its big lies.

This Will Hold (@thiswillhold)

Wow. A brand-new federal report just revealed something that should reshape the entire conversation about our public lands: The single strongest economy on federal land is outdoor recreation. Not oil. Not gas. Not timber or mining. Recreation on public lands pumps $128.5 billion into the U.S. economy every year. It supports nearly one million jobs, pours billions into wages, and delivers majorstate and federal tax revenue. And here’s the part the extractive industries can’t compete with: It’s 100% renewable. Every year, people return to hike, fish, camp, climb, hunt, ski, raft, explore—and they bring their children, who bring their children. The economic cycle grows because the natural resource grows. When you line up the numbers, recreation generates more economic value than ALL extractive industries combined—grazing, oil, gas, timber, mining, all of it. Y’all know we’re all about the data. And the data says one thing while the politicians pretend it says another. The lie survives because it’s convenient and profitable to politicians and special interests. The truth matters because it’s measurable. The statistics tell a very different story. Please share. @More Than Just Parks

Does this help Americans put things into perspective? One health insurance company out of many? Just a “loss”. Not the value. Not the whole company. Not the whole revenue stream or profit margin. Just a “loss”.

I don't know what I'm saying. This Wednesday consider a currency exchange with me and I would be most pleased. Thank you . #christmas #capitalism #murica #woodworking #gifts"
