Tree Equity

In the marxist 5 trillion dollar bill, they allocated 34 billion for "tree equity"!
What the heck is 'tree equity'?

[lyman]

they want all trees to feel good about their tree-ness,
and not to treat each other tree differently based on bark, leaves or color,


you know those trees with needles, they like to stir crap up

'Equity' has long been a trigger word for political opposition. So the fact that people use it tells me they are not politically plugged in.

Next there will be "trees rights" followed by trees that claim to be "an oak tree in a pine tree's body (or trunk)."

Forest fires will be considered murder. Triming limbs will be considered amputation. Lumber will be thought of as nudity.

It's the idea that some communities don't have enough trees so public (Federal) money should be used to pay for trees to make up the difference. To the extent that's true it should be a local issue. Anybody who thinks 34 billion is actually going to be efficiently spent planting trees in urban slums, concreted over city centers, or suburbs where all the trees were cut down to make building houses more efficient and not siphoned off in graft and corruption is sadly mistaken.

Shades of Urban Renewal. The government used to go into what were called "slums" in those days, bulldoze them, and build upscale apartments, stores and so on.

The result was that the poor, who lived in those slums were uprooted, and functioning, but poor neighborhoods, were broken up. The displaced poor were moved elsewhere. That's how we got things like Cabrini Green in Chicago.

Pretty much that, yes.

It's for the Government Money Trees. The present trees only produce only $20 notes.
They need ones that produce $100 notes.
Bernie will want $1000 notes.

So, you admit that dimocrats are "not politically plugged in"? It's in their 5 trillion dollar bondogle!
