    I think nothing would elevate the hatred of billionaires more than if they buy up the national parks for their own private estates.

    Great Smokey national park is now the walton’s family compound

    Rocky Mountain National park is now the gates compound

    Yosemite becomes musk’s outdoor playground

    The grand canyon is bezo’s now

    Just writing that elevated my blood pressure

      The UK is like that and it resulted in mass trespassing. Now while a lot of it is still privately owned people can still walk across a bit of it. Honestly we need something like allemansratten.

      Don’t worry, no one is thinking that. But wouldn’t it be so much more productive to have oil wells and strip mines there? Otherwise that land is just fraud, waste, and abuse
