Thousand myself for State Forest Service to help pay tuition for a Forest Management degree. Made it possible with the $360 per month GI Bill.
Yea I earned that too Musk. During a fucking war.
Most all the biggest Timber Corporations, including Koch, Georgia Pacific, hire only Latino crews that are here for months on a site, staying 7-10 in a single motel room, cooking in the room, just to send money back to their families, that still live in poverty levels.
Hard as hell work crawling over residual limbs and debris in hot as hell, or frozen ground. Each member plants 300- 400 trees per Day depending on the species.
Americans refuse to work that hard. And every God damned one of them pay into SS never to see a dime of it. Also the same people crawl through fire devastation to plant for regeneration.
Guess they will expect disabled seniors to do it when their SS ends in Musk and DOGE bank accounts. In untaxable accounts. And those seniors will be taxed from planting for the Koch types to finance the pricks (elected) retirement and health insurance.
I also did a required internship while in my senior year, working with some on SE pine plantations.
God damn it I hate these fucking idiots.
