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?

    I used to look around at my peers in high school and have the sudden realization that, oh shit, one day we’re going to have to run this society and be the parents and leaders and teachers and whatever. This realization struck fear into my heart.

    Now that my generation is older and becoming parents and leaders and teachers and whatever, yeah I do not have any more trust in these people than I did in high school, tbh probably less.

      Currently stuck in a walled bougistani compound in the arid, exotic deserts of so-cal and I can report the people running this planet are the most banal idiots you can imagine. It's bad enough seeing all the destruction wrought, and then you see what they actually bought with their blood money and it's just the most banal shit imaginable. They're doing all this horrible shit and they're not even having fun.

              That sounds like a damn good idea. Did the guests know about it beforehand or was it a surprise? I feel like if I were doing the planning, I'd make it a surprise, just to avoid certain guests bringing their own supply ahead of time.
