they took all the trees

 and put em in a tree museum ,

they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see um. (Joni Mitchell)

lot of discussion lately about tree equity....seems the biden administration wants to include $$ in their spending bill to plant trees in poor neighborhoods.....

so NYC , which funds 70 agencies and employs 300,000 workers and has a projected budget of 98.7 billion for 2022 ....that city needs Federal funds to plant more trees in the projects and crime ridden neighborhoods.

so cities like NY and San Francisco , which made dramatic cuts to Police Budgets and insisted that community outreach deserves those funds , these cities and their community outreach groups can't find a few scheckles to plant trees in poor neighborhoods.?

you know how many trees i have planted on my property in the last 20 years ? 23

you know how much federal funding i received ?     exactly.

but hey, that's government, that's the swamp.....why open your own wallet when you can get some sucker to open his....but as margaret thatcher said...the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of others peoples money to spend........the united states of america has quite possibly passed the point of no return......we are the fatted calf being groomed for the slaughter......i don't think the next generation will be ready, willing or able to answer the bell when it tolls......big tech companies like twitter and facebook control the messages and have censored the opposition....google has vowed NOT to work with the US Military.....if you are China or Russia , why waste a nuclear bomb on the continental US ? just sit back and wait...........we have stopped oil exploration and pipelines on our soil and begged OPEC to produce/sell us more oil......only we could do that to ourselves....Russia and China couldn't do that to us.... we have given away our oil independence and are nearing the great collapse....first a civil war and then extinction........ i hope if a martian colony someday finds this blog in the CLOUD , you will understand that some of us down here DID see what was happening....we saw the great fall before it happened , but we were too busy watching the Real Housewives to do anything about it.

Don't it always seem to go
