“I hope my cynicism is misplaced. I hope you’re right about our masters at the federal government retreating, but I find it terribly hard to believe.”
I agree with your cynicism as a general observation relative to our government. I just thought that in this instance the BLM was told by the “higher ups,” to pack it in and they did. No telling what they may do in the future, but right now the “optics” of a “Waco” probably don’t appeal to FUBO and the RATs with the mid-terms coming in six months. What really disturbs me is that when the GOP has had all the marbles, they haven’t done anything substantive about the egregious amount of “federal land.” I just read a stat that says that the Feds “own” 28% of the land in the country, with most of it our here in the Western States. They own almost half of California, 82% of Nevada, and 66% of Utah! BS, and the bureaucrats think it’s “their land,” not the people’s.
I like you.
