All these people being like “why don’t we just use trees” as if the capitalists could profit from them like this. And not to say this is cost efficient, of course planting a tree would be better for everyone, but whoever installs these things will have a contract guaranteeing them money that taxpayers will be told is being put toward green initiatives and so will be eager to part with it I guess

Do you think that trees don't require money to upkeep?

Plus, they fuck up any infrastructure they're around, so that money is going to contractors anyway.
