I played through the base game years ago and loved it. I tried getting into it again recently and... well, apparently I'm too much of a graphics snob now to play a game this dated. When did this happen to me? I should be able to play old games...

Two things can be true at once. Telling an American they aren't allowed to criticize any government in existence because their own is also bad is asinine.

Here's an interactive map which shows the scale of the looting:

Here's an article that goes into the specifics a bit more:

They're selling public land (trying to, anyway) to the highest bidder, with no rules about how the land will be used. Expect private golf courses, Airbnbs, luxury summer homes, etc.

I'm willing to stand in front of a bulldozer if it comes down to that.

The thing in Florida is encouraging, although that was at the State level rather than Federal. I'm sure there are organizations who are going to oppose this... if this happens it will be irreversible and will effectively ruin western states, and put a huge dent in local economies. This will also hurt the people who don't hike. People come to the western US from all over the world to use our public land.

It's so sad! I can't stop crying about it. Hiking is my entire life. I live in Washington and looked at an interactive map of the land they're trying to sell. All of my favorite spots are in danger.

If you look at the map you'll see how stupid it is... they're cutting everything into tiny pieces so that even the land they don't sell will lose it's recreational value. The PCT will likely be completely ruined because of this. The way they're cutting it up... there's no logic to it. They're doing this to hurt us.

Yup. And no one is talking about the theft of 250 million acres of public land, either. Netanyahu and Trump are both bombing Iran for political reasons and blaming it on nukes that probably don't exist.

 

This happened last night. It appears to be a coordinated political assassination. Be safe out there, things are heating up.
