Environmental protections at all three monuments had been stripped by former President Donald Trump. The White House announced the changes Thursday night ahead of a ceremony expected Friday. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, expressed disappointment in Bidens decision to restore Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante monuments, which the Trump administration downsized significantly in 2017. The monuments cover vast expanses of southern Utah where red rocks reveal petroglyphs and cliff dwellings and distinctive buttes bulge from a grassy valley. Trump invoked the century-old Antiquities Act to cut 2 million acres (800,000 hectares) from the two monuments, calling restrictions on mining and other energy production a massive land grab that should never have happened.

That's what people in a global pandemic suffering low wages, high inflation, and massive job losses want to hear. Isn't doing all that undoing Trump, though? Also, there are entire departments of the government responsible for exactly this. Biden is just putting a pen to paper.

Mearcstapa 10/08/21 1:45:56 PM #16:	Questionmarktarius posted... Nobody finds this at all excessive? A lot of that is Indian Reservations. The vast majority of the rest of it is managed by the BLM and Forest Service, which allows for regulated public uses including resource extraction, grazing, and recreational activities. You've then got Military bases and missile ranges, and all lakes/dams managed by the USACE is included there too. A smaller part is comprised of National Monuments and National Parks expressly for environmental preservation and recreation. It's all quite reasonable, imo. --- after years of waiting nothing came <cite>Mearcstapa posted [p:958833349] in Biden read...
