I have friends who lease land in the SE to paper companies for pine growing/harvesting. I have seen those giant scissor looking machines that cut the pines down. They look so scary to me...as in horror fantasy about getting snipped in two by one.
I am actually surprised Cruz didn’t know most disposable diapers sold here are produced here..I guess he was just trying to “scare” mom’s by saying that.
The plant I worked for had a million acres of plantation pines in all states. Perpetual replacement. It takes 20 years for a plantation pine.
