That sounds like all the old west capitalists who thought that every drop of water in a river that reached the ocean, every acre of unspoiled forest, every inch of prairie that was untilled, every ore filled mountain that wasn’t dug up, any piece of beautiful landscape that had coal left under it was a waste. Every valley should be filled with smoke stacks, every animal that’s not in a stock yard should be shot. Screw the song birds, you should be able to hear a steam whistle from anywhere in the country.
