“Bureaucrat created law trumping common sense and the will of the people.”
I was interviewing (for an artcle) the president of what was then the fifth largest home builder in the country. He said that if they discovered an eagle’s nest all work had to stop. He was spending half a million a week and an eagle’s nest on his several hundred acre development it would cause him to go bankrupt. He could figure when to the day. That would cost not only his multi-generation company but 500 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs. So, (and he said he’d never done this) over a weekend somebody would cut down the tree and kill the eagle and he’d pay the (I think) $15,000 fine. It was either that or go bankrupt. He called the environmental laws “well intentioned insanity.”
These laws are not ‘well intentioned’.
They are the outcome of the desire by certain forces working within our country to outlaw private property by individual citizens, as well as freedom to make decisions about your property and then do them.
The environmental movement- or green movement- is the child of nazi socialism. I say this because the nazi party in germany, in the late 1960’s changed their name from the nazi party to the green party because the word nazi was so off-putting to people.
But, no matter how you apply the lipstick, a pig is still a pig.
Please remember, our ancestors realized property is power, and owning property can give you wealth and standing in the community. That is why so many Americans settled Texas and the West— to own property.
It is the reason private property is the enemy of the environmental socialists. It is why so much of the country is now under control of local, state or federal governments— all the greenbelts, parks you can’t get to because the roads are closed, beaches where humans are banned from setting foot, and blm lands that are being set up as national monuments to keep private individuals from ranching, mining, fishing or logging them.
