Okay, something smells really salmonny. When libertards choose lumber over lattes, there has to be a reason. And there it is...MONEY
A friend who works for Nike told me that Oregon is experiencing a $1.6B state budget shortfall because rising pension costs.
Twenty years ago Oregon burned (excuse the pun) their timber industry and they now realize that its all they had. I guess their second largest agriculture sector, the flower industry, failed to bloom.
Oregon has nothing else it can export. They’re screwed !!
I grew up in a Timber town and my Dad lost everything when the plywood mill closed down. The fake science used to blame logging for the decline of the spotted owl was pushed by the exact same people pushing “climate change”.
The Tillamook and Clatsop forests are at prime logging age right now and would pump hundreds of millions into the devastated coastal communities.
Trump could get it done, if he knows the issue, and shuts out the giant private forest owning timber corporations.
