In other news, the fact that we buy so much lumber from countries like Canada has become a national security threat, says the White House. Translation: We're going to start cutting down a lot more trees here in the US of A!
@briankrebs Hey that’s a lot of land we should be developing into real estate!

@bedast @briankrebs given that Canadian lumber is owned by the crown and managed as a crown corporation, I dont really trust the alternative American capitalism/exceptionalism to manage its forests from a business perspective.

We need forest conservations and instead we have “drill baby drill” in the office.

TLDR Canadians understand lumber as a renewable resource. Americans tend to maximize extraction for the benefit of the current generation over all else (cough boomers)

@bedast the landslides will be "the greatest, the most beautiful landslides you have ever seen, and the people, the people all saying Thank you Mr. President. Does everybody know what a condom is?"

@bedast @briankrebs
Once it's cleared of those damn trees you can build casinos and internment camps!
@AlisonW @briankrebs Nah, we’re all about making more Mar A Lagos!
