This is one of his trademark hard-to-parse statements, but trophy-hunting conservation is one of those counter intuitive triumphs of capitalism.
http://www.radiolab.org/story/rhino-hunter/

It works sort of like the vice tax on cigarettes/alcohol (this is in Canada, don't know if there is equivalent in States), where you get the people who want to do a bad thing to pay a premium that goes to offset the real-world costs of said thing.
So for cigarettes, the revenue from those taxes goes directly into the healthcare system and theoretically pays for their cancer treatment down the line.
With conservation, rich people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill a (if the system is working) old/infertile member of the species and that cash goes to local conservation efforts.
yeah but... poaching. If I'm the kind of idiot that wants to shoot an elephant, i want to shoot the strongest more virile example of one. not some lame old one.

This is loving stupid for two reasons.

One, they were injured/killed (shot maybe? no news yet on how the agents were injured exactly, just backfill in your preferred bias) on the American side of the border in Culberson County, about 30-40 miles from the border.

This is what the terrain looks like around Van Horn on I-10:

Imagine building a loving wall on that terrain, in the middle of the desert. Chinga hijo de puta.

the stupid part is that uranium is apparently dirt cheap now, to the point where existing mines are shutting down because it's not profitable. it used to be that republicans destroyed the environment to make massive profits, now apparently they just do it on principle

This is from pages ago, and someone already asked, but is this just a hip new insult, or did he really gently caress this up somehow? I feel like I shouldn't need clarification, but then... Trump.

there were literally thousands of people who voted for Donald because they liteally (LITERALLY) thought that he was an accurate representation of a successful businessman/entrepreneur.

Bill Gates on the other hand is literally both of those things, and due to that, has 0% chance of being President.

Imagine for a moment that you're arrested in a country that doesn't really have the rule of law. Maybe you did it, maybe you didn't, but you're being threatened with harsh penalties for the minor infraction you're charged with. That country decides to use your imprisonment as a bargaining chip with the leader of your country who is coming for a visit in a few days, so you can't even pay the standard bribe to get out or get your jailers to respond to the usual embassy negotiations. And then a few days later they let you go and you're told that you need to thank Donald Trump.

I'd probably go, "gently caress it, just lock me up and harvest my organs."


That tax bill doesn't have a poison pill in it. It's a cartoon style back bottle with a skull and crossbones on the side that has an equal amount of rat feces mixed in.
