Why would private money do that... 😔

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Not all private money will, this article pointed out legitimate uses, this isn't a condemnation of people being too greedy and self interested for this to work, it is a condemnation of the idea that the rich won't use this to eviscerate the beautiful landscapes of Canada under the guise of protecting them and erase any positive gains this process accomplished.

You know that is what the rich will do, it is the only choice they ever make unless they are terrified of the mob outside their estate.

I mean just look at the vague name, the handwavey definitions and opaque presentation, it feels custom designed for Lumber companies who want to sell the idea of them clearing Old Growth to plant a forest of monoculture trees as "planting trees to protect Canada's natural wealth!".

We all know how this bullshit goes, is it not the same story over and over again?

Always is. The system demands it.
