Project 2025 aims to eliminate the US Forest Service (USFS) powers to prevent forest fires and to increase logging on Federal lands which makes sense because it's trees that are the problem

    Trees are not a "problem", but rather an untapped resource.

    I mean look at them, millions, nah billions of them just sitting there, none of them are generating a penny for our billionaires.

    Imagine what our glorious billionaires can do if we allow them to just chop down all those trees? Think of all the beautiful toiler paper for our collective asses, as well as the billion of bibles (including a copy of the constitution) that they can sell to us for the low low price of $65.

    And as an added benefit, getting rid of all those trees will also eliminate the problem of forest fires. You can't have those without forests in the first place.

    To be sure, some forests will need to be left alone, specially those close to residential areas, but not for the reasons that you think.

    We need those forests to actually burn down, hopefully taking down those houses next to them. Why? Think about it. If all those houses burn down then we can use those trees we chopped down elsewhere to build new houses, a BOOM for the construction billionaires. And also, it means that houses next to those forest that can accidentally burn down will have to have an increase in their insurance premium, we can even make it so that forests close to houses have a private company to fight forest fires, think of all the benefits for billionaires.

    Once you start thinking money, it all makes sense
