I’m looking across at the olympic peninsula right now from victoria right now and it really just settled in for me that losing that might actually be possible.

I would literally be willing to die trying to save the hoh rainforest.

Am I overreacting here?

    There’s so much other federal land that can be logged before going for the tourist attractions. It would just politically look bad if they did. I’d say probably not.

    EDIT: You know what, on second thought, I’m still surprised every day what this administration is doing so I could see them doing it just to show they can.

      They will sell it to the highest bidder, likely foreign. That is the whole point of the “sovereign wealth fund”. Trump and the Uber wealthy see it as an asset to plunder, who cares if Bahrain owns Yellowstone or you have to pay Bezos to fly over the Amazon Canyon? The future is amazing!
