Yeah sure, clear more land for development, Australia, it’s not like the lack of trees will dry everything out and raise temperatures in a place that is already dangerously hot. What’s a heat island? Oh, look, fire!
Oh, you didn’t even clear those trees for anything important planned and just stuck up a sign saying “new industrial opportunities!” Boy, that sure was worth cutting into a previously protected forest and killing a bunch of endangered koalas and quolls for!
Oh look, the slop warehouse you replaced that native forest with has a koala for a logo! We sure love our national icons! I wonder where all the real koalas went?
You’re not alone. The solution is to run for office, or so I’m told. I firmly believe that anyone who does, even with good intentions, becomes corrupt eventually.
Or get heart-attack-gunned.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I had to look up that phrase?
At least it doesn’t seem to happen too terribly often in the US… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians
that’s why they use the heart attack gun instead of a normal gun
