Stickhorse it's definitely a frustrating situation for either side if you're on the side that didn't get its way. Really the decision to make the monument I think was based on 2 things. 1. This is our State Senator Rob Bishop we're talking about. Several years he said he was working on a land compromise. When it finally came out and was shown to the public, it was literally the biggest disappointment ever. Since he's still the state senator he would still be involved in this process, and I think nobody had faith that he would be willing to compromise from his already awful compromise. 2. The timing of this presidential election with arguably the most unenvironmental president in History, Donald Trump winning also likely played a huge role in Obama's decision to declare it a National Monument because of some of the projections for what Donald Trump may do. Other than that Utah unfortunately is the fastest growing state so the threat of preserving a special area was even higher than normal.
So honestly Stickhorse it's kind of a travesty how the world really is so divided and people of particular power like senators or the president being included. And population is still growing which plays a big role in all of this...the more people the less resources per person. There might be physically more room for other homes and people to live but I think pretty soon people will start realizing how inconvenient it is having to live using less resources, and just feeling more crowded in city life. It's kind of
in some ways how the world is changing. There's some things we can do but honestly there's some that we really can't and we need to keep special places open to stay mentally sane literally lol.
Thanks for the wishes in the future. I definitely could have chose a degree that would pay better in the end and would have a easier transition period to becoming a full time employee but ultimately I decided to do something I love and care about. Hopefully it pays off! Good luck to to you to.
