I think your underlying premise was, before you were scolded, that business would cut down ALL the old growth forest if they had their way.
That isn’t the same as saying some regulation is good. That’s a change from your original position.
If you’re now saying you were wrong about all old growth forest and all businesses, I accept your correction.
However, let it be known that millions of acres are in the National Park service and won’t be logged; ever. And even so, where private ownership exists, many decide not to log or disturb, but keep the forest pristine for their own reasons. The Natural Conservatory is one such group of private owners. And that’s good, owners get to decide. I cannot fault them.
However, please also understand that the spotted owl decision back in the 1980s put thousands of people out of work. It wasn’t just the logger barons that lost, but regular, everyday Joes. I absolutely hate to hear about these things, and the total disregard for these people by their so-called betters in Washington, New York and Los Angeles. The Leftists just don’t care.
Same thing that Obama and Hillary did to the coal miners. Trump told them he had their back and he won in large part in Pennsylvania due to this. And he wasn’t just saying so, like most politicians, but is getting coal back online. The lie of the Left, Fhios, is similar to what you started with, that the big coal companies don’t give a hoot about anybody else but their profits and will kill us all with coal smoke.
BUT, they ignore all the advances that clean coal gives us and how far the industry has cleaned it up. Obama acted as if he’s never heard of scrubbers and other technologies, yet at the same time, thought he knew all about pie-in-the-sky renewables in solar and wind, while absolutely ignoring both the ecological and consistent power issues with them. The bottom line, hundreds of thousands got economically ruined. For what? Politics!
Of course I'm not saying all business are bad. I just thought it didn't need to be said, and it doesn't take all corporations being bad to destroy and overuse what we have.
So yea, apologies if incorrectly stated it or made misleading comments. Which ever you prefer.
