I was at the sawmill where I used to work the other day and I see that the lone unarmed guard is long gone. He's been replaced with a team of 8 armed and authorized highly trained guards. My old boss says that they spent over 30 million dollars on security upgrades that they never needed before due to threats from ecoterrorists.

The Greenies and their allies always bemoan the lack of "affordable housing." Lumber and lumber products are the primary components of most housing. Replacing one unarmed watchman, who was prrobably paid at the low end of the company's compensation scale, with eight armed and fully trained guards, who are much more heavily compensated, can only add a great deal to that mill's costs and prices. Isn't it a wonder how the left does its level best "to help the poor and assure affordable housing for everyone?" [Sarcasm off!]
