People like to murder trees

@InOtterWords people certainly do suck, but the general public, as an entity, isn't the problem. The problem is that the system keeps rewarding liars and cheats.

I can't blame people for living in a system beyond their control. The only way to break the system is to remove yourself from it. And that is a sacrifice most people are not willing to make.

@GermanAf i don't know

Something could have been done a year ago but no-one got behind me when i tried. People that called themselves friends did not mention what happened....and now it is happening again in their green space and they are up in arms.

I know i am being specific when you don't know the details. I get your point i am just angry and upset with people in power but also the shit inertia of people who just let things happen.

@InOtterWords ha, i know that feeling 😅

If I've learned one thing in my 24 year tenure as an alive person it's that i can't expect anything from anyone. People will always prioritize themselves, even if it is by proxy

@BlueVeins Nah. America just sucks at city/infrastructure planning and the like.

The worst thing that happened to the US, besides Americans (because they perpetuate dysfunction), is the two party duopoly.

Most issues can be traced back to that.

Should have listened to Washington.

@InOtterWords It was just from a header on Google i don't think it gave a source. I'll read up on Wikipedia and learn more about tree's and their increasing or decreasing on earth. I get back to you if i learn anything worthwhile.

@Lostpoet here is a hint....there is so much fake news and misinformation

@InOtterWords Wikipedia is a good reference site though

@Onestarlitnight here a garden centre cut trees down to increase their car park.

The irony

@Harmonium1923 my bf is the same way. He got insanely angry when our neighbors at our old place cut down the lemon tree that had bordered the fenceline for generations.

@LeopoldBloom no one would care

@LizOwen thank you for your input

@LizOwen If we nuke people, problem solved.

@GeistInTheMachine Nuking people will also nuke the natural environment. Wars are pretty destructive things - as are motor vehicles, aircraft and most factories.
