    Hmmm, so we all lose access to beautiful public lands we’ve had for generations, so that someone (but definitely not us) will get money?

    I don’t think anyone in Washington right now is that good of a salesman

      Stip thinking that you’re the customer, you’re not. They just need to butter up to some rich asshole, and they’re doing quite well in that department.

        Yep. When it comes to the Republicans, we are the subjects. Not even the most hardcore redcap is considered worthy of having citizenship status and expected to have real representation by someone interested in public service.

    Hey Bill Gates and all the other rich dudes pretending to be the good ones. This is your time. Buy that land. Make it parks or whatever to preserve it.

      That would require them to put money for the public instead of donating to organizations they control.

    Everytime I think American’s reach new lows, someone finds a shovel and keeps digging.

    Counterpoint: Do they even care? They’ll do it anyway. What did they care if the public doesn’t like it? They’ll be richer for it and that’s all that matters.

    The level of ultra-capitalist dystopia in the USA is incredible

      That portion of the book from Rapture of the Nerds where they visit the hellscape that is the United States is becoming ever more prescient.

    Fucking disgusting. Hope it’s all to a bunch of dickhead billionaires, and those contracts are reversed/ignores after Trump gets kicked out.

    LOL, “support”.

    You mean among just the redcaps? And does it even need to be a majority of those motherfuckers?
