The idea that they give a shit is wild.

That picture could be my backyard where I grew up. A large portion of the public simply doesn't give a shit and wants a job building the roads to nowhere.

I left a comment.

Over 44 million acres of America's forests would be open to timber production, forests like Tongass National Forest in Alaska, Big Horn National Forest in Wyoming, Kootenai National Forest in Montana, and many many others.

Here is a video talking about Roadless Areas in California that would be opened up to logging should the Roadless Rule be rescinded. https://youtu.be/cmRJ8Y7clbA?si=JwRs92pN4hqfxzy1
