I hear George Carlin’s voice.
That’s why they are dismantling the Forrest service
Well for mining first, then yeah sell the ripped land to companies.
There is a Swedish film on this subject. As described on imdb:
A German business man, Volkswagner, comes to Österlen in the south of Sweden to build Deutschneyland, a gigantic amusement park for German tourists. The local councilors and the member of parliament are all in favor of the idea, although it will turn vast areas into parking lots for cars. The Lindberg family does not like the idea and with the help of a little magic, they start scheming against it.
There are scenes where they are walking around in the middle of nature going
Can you imagine a better place for a popcorn stand?
And stuff like that. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068025/
Hahaha that actually sounds quite funny
Anyone play Satisfactory? Beautiful nature, yet you are directed to exploit the planet. Reminds me of that.
As a Factorio player, what’s more beautiful than an endless concrete sprawl.
I’ve been playing Arknights Endfield and what makes it feel silly is that the story is all about saving this precious, pristine grassy environment from blight and destruction…and you do it by making giant resource-mining factories.
My latest challenge mode in that game is to try and develop infrastructure while destroying as little of the natural environment as possible.
This has led to building a number of offshore plants, but the difficulty is having to still run materials to them before unlocking drones to do it for me.
Whenever I have to build in the interior, I’ve tried to focus on building tall instead of wide so that it doesn’t take up much land space. But that does cause the horizon to become cluttered with a few industrial spires.
I can’t help but have to destroy some of the environment to get early biofuel power going, but I focus on finding as many crash sites as I can early on to skip to coal as quickly as possible.
I think I might know where this picture was taken. Not far from here. Weird.
I had the same thought. Wallow Whitman National forest? North Matthieu Lake?
What was your guess?
Jefferson park maybe?
You’ve got to ask yourself, what did Nature ever do to us? Clearly Walwart provides us with food, drinks, computers, entertainment, weapons, …
Tires, eyeglasses, vaccines, live fish (they stopped this one, I think), medicine.
Nature needs to step up her game.
There might come a day that Walmart has more live fish than nature.
Roads? No wait… That was the Romans.
Not in america I can assure you that.
“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”
Nature: perfect as is Humans: needs more parking 😭
I need an AR program “CEO vision” that lets me view pristine natural environments as strip malls
I used to live in a small town who successfully kept out a Walmart and Cracker Barrel. The former because it would have paved over a historic farm and cost millions to extend the sewer, and the latter because “we already have restaurants.”
I miss that place.
How beautiful nature would be if we just plagued it with ads…
That’s nice and all but we could never pave that mountain, could we just Cover it in garbage?
No no no, first you have to make a subdivision with cookie cutter houses and “whimsical” road planning, then you name it after the mountain ecosystem you bulldozed to make it. The walmart is built at the bottom of the mountain on the less important mountain ecosystem.

and put up a parking lot 🎵🎶
