    How do trees work? There's a reason specific types of construction lumber is brought in from Canada. But forget all that, time to de-forest protected US areas to process the wrong trees.

    "President Donald Trump is promising to unleash the US timber industry by allowing companies to raze swaths of federally protected national forests..."

    I mean at best, aside from decimating protected environments, a US 2x4 is headed for about $25 a pop?
