When a federal prison is the biggest job creator in ANY area...it's time to reconsider what system you are living within.

Not the kind of swamp people thought trump would drain.

You know.....at some point we gotta stop being so damn greedy...once it's done it's done..can't bring it back

mate, after a mine comes through your kids are gonna need health insurance.

People were literally chanting “drain the swamp” Kinda hard not to take them literally.

If we don’t reserve we won’t last, what is natural will always overcome. God bless

The way that woman speaks brings tears to my eyes

Destroying more environment than necessary for ones personal gain is absolutely selfish. America and many other countries need more environmentally friendly methods of collecting recourses.

people don’t even think to clean up the place they destroyed with oil 😩

We're going to die. I have no faith that the greedy rich will ever stop until there is nothing left. No amount of complaining, yelling, arguing has changed it thus far and there are signs everywhere the environment is being irreversibly changed and they. Do. Not. Care.

never trust a mining corporation

Dang man dude, TRUMP, when your supporters CALLED for you to “drain the swamp” they didn’t mean LITERALLY, drain a swamp!

Morticia and Gomez were right the swamps should be left alone!

Im from a suburb in Texas that grew very rapidly while I was young. I watched every area of untouched land, pastures, & woods that I played/explored in when I was a kid all get dug up before my eyes & turned into roads, neighborhoods, apartments, condos, townhomes, a golf course, a very large grocery store & shopping center, and a multi-lane toll road. Every creek/stream that was in our immediate/particular area got dug up, filled in with either concrete, rocks, dirt, & grass, and turned into drainage ditches or rainwater runoff areas. The creeks/streams that we fished in & picked crawfish & little shrimp-things out of the water are gone. Either dry, or destroyed. 95% + of the wildlife in our area is gone. The peace & quiet is gone. It’s been heartbreaking to watch it happen over all these years.

*Shrek: first Lord Maximus Farquaad and now Trump wants to take away my Swamp?* 😄

Just look back thru history for the negative and lasting catastrohic damage that mining has and continues to do from anywhere. How mmany times do we need to be shown that when you mess with the make up of the environment, there is NEVER enough benefit to outweigh the cost ($, healthwise, to the ecology, endangering species, etc.(.

It's Georgia we are talking about. The big wigs here like to destory anything and everything beautiful and natural in this State to make a penny. Or, they keep it to themselves and turn it all into Golf Courses. No joke, just Google Map this State and count how many golf courses are here compared to Public Land.

No mining, not under current mining standards, they are not held accountable for returning lands to their natural state when they are done using them for their own personal benefit. We have seen this in Tongass Application, Pebble Mine, Boundary Waters Mine Application, virtually all of them.

Dot let them open it will ruin it

There is a giant sarracenia minor variety only found here. This could really suck for the carnivorous plant community.

I wouldn't be mad of another asteroid hit earth...

Can you guys please do a story on No roads to ruin in Florida!! They are going to destroy precious wildlife habitat in Florida for toll roads.

Stop the mining!!!

At this point I am so disillusioned that I am thinking: Well, in 30 years or so most parts of Georgia are gonna be under water anway...

That swamp won't end cos trump's gonna live there soon.

But trump said he would drain the swamp... pretty sure thats not what people thought he meant...

Lmao who would've thunk when he said "drain the swamp", he was referring to the real swamp, he just didn't know it.

This will create three mining jobs and thousands of super fund clean up jobs decades after the mining in done.

If the land is RUINED, NOBODY will be there, NO TOWN or WILDLIFE

Dress like Shrek and have a donkey, they'll get global coverage and hopefully that'll change public opinion

Too bad it wasn't the end of the Washington swamp.

That was bogus of Trump to sign away the most important resource we have!! Keep our water ways clean and protect them for the future generations of people and wildlife!!

The best analogy here is if you punched a hole into the side of a bathtub, just because you made a tiny hole on the side, doesn’t mean you didn’t damage it. 😐

I lived in the swamps for 2 years on a small boat

Has any state done due diligence in anything ever?

They can save the small town by opening up shops and places like an Observatory, they can add jobs, insing solar panels and stuff like that, by opening up the mine they are taking away the people's jobs that depend on the swamp, they are simply shifting the unemployment to another town

I remember reading about Roosevelt and the folks in America were so gleeful to explore the new National Parks when they were made.. people came by the thousands on railroad which all of that provided jobs and of course it was a job boom. Besides that, it gave people a great sense of wonder, of pride, joy, spiritual wholeness, wellness, whatever else you want to add Im sure it was felt. People have forgotten that America was the first place ever to make a National Park, and we just dont have pride in our natural areas as much as 100 years ago +. I realize the swamps arent necessarily Nat'l Parks but theyre beloved treases all the same, and I feel we need to protect them. Once ruined and gone, we cannot recreate them. They are Nature made, period. We mess this up with greed, thats it, gone. We are really going to miss clean air and water as creatures who depend on it naturally would.

$64.7 million per year. That's what they are worried about, cash in their pockets, not the wildlife. Who the hell are they trying to kid?

He was working on killing swamp creatures but it wasn't in Georgia, it was in Washington D.C.

I took a field trip here as a kid. One of the most memorable field trips I've ever taken it was awesome.

Can we all agree, Trump set back our country by a decade?

4:46 ; "Our country doesn't have a decent health care system, or fair access to education, so we've got to sacrifice our land for corporate profit, and risk putting 700 other people out of work."

T****: "lets drain the swamp..." Mines: Great we can let loose our pollution... Alligators: "WTAF??!!!"

Trump is the worst environmental POTUS in U.S. history. Ever.

Why worry about cryptocurrency quotes if there is FBC14 algorithm?

Yo he ain’t the president anymore, we need an updateee

This is truly a natural treasure if the world. I’ve spent many days in this swamp, growing up about 40 miles from there.

You can never mine safely. Don’t believe it.

Vice, what are you going to do after a few months when all Trump stories dry up? Learn to code.

Leave the wetlands be or you'll have another florida wetlands fiasco on your hands.

Anyone who See's this message you are so valuable and special to Jesus, he died for your sins so that they can be forgiven ,come to him as you are doesn't matter how broken you think you are , he loves you so unconditionally , no matter where you've been and he knows you personally doesn't matter what you done he'll forgive and wait for you to come to him so he can give you rest no joke he loves you so much! And also ,I was spiritually dead wanted to die didn’t care about life ,I went through so much in life physically and mentally that my feeling became num in a way and I started seeking God and He found me he revealed stuff to me and why I had to go through certain stuff in my life, only to bear more fruit in my life ,I’m not telling people about Jesus because some pastor told me to or something else I’m telling people because He gives a peace that surpasses understanding 😔👍

Mine next to a potential unesco site. Damn.

This is honestly sad. The South is the most Biodiverse environment in the United States of America 🇺🇸 but it is the least protected. This needs to change and we need to step up and save these Fragile Environments. Something like this is happening in the Appalachicola River but with Oil Mining in the River basin. If anybody is reading this please go sign that petition as well to stop the Oil drilling in the Appalachicola River.

The end of the world is coming, nothing at all lasts forever. It's just so sad to live to see these times of such death and decay.

WhAt ArE yOu DoIn In My SwAmP!!!

I cant stand how easily he manipulated people but they really should have seen it coming. He was always a fraud.

Should’ve voted for Stacey Abrams.

Vice just blames everything on Trump.

She should invite state heads and take them on a canoe tour to see its beauty

THIS. Is why I have up on environmentalism. I spent 8 years studying ecology and environmental biology.

what I wanna know is the people whose lifestyle depends on the wildlife refuge did they vote for trump or biden (donkey or elephant)? If Biden then ok but if Trump I just have to wonder.

Jobs are not worth the destruction of a natural landscape. I’m sorry that’s a shitty fucking thing to say but it’s the truth. What we need is a government that invests in GREEN industry that doesn’t mine our national and state parks, protected areas and wildlife refugees.

What'd you expect? He SAID he was going to "drain the swamp"...!

Hopefully the new president fixes it

“Orange man still bad, even though he’s no longer in office”.

That "surface water" looks like dirty toilet water.

Soooo lobbyists really got the regulations pulled back......this is why lobbying in politics should be regulated

Swamp tours Hell Yeah. No Mine!

If the mining companies were smart they would have people dump random chemicals in the ponds that would be the biproduct of producing titanium/minerals so that when they open the factory it would look like they arent dumping anything.

As was said in the end of my favorite movie, Fargo... “For a little bit of money. There’s more to life then a little money, you know. Don’t you know that? And here ya are. And it’s a beautiful day. “

Filling the metaphorical swamp and draining the literal one

Trump would drain the swamp but not the washington one.

So this is what he meant when he said "drain the swamp"

- - Come on now Biden !! ! - > S T O P THE M I N E ! ! ! .... ...SAVE the wonderful mysteriously beautiful swamp !!...... save nature... ..save HARMONY ! - -

And yet I see people arguing online about ethical oil drilling methods & ethical 'exploitation' of natural resources for the purpose of creating more jobs. Are we seriously arguing about money vs ecosystem?

Trump did say he was going to drain the swamp....

It's pretty pathetic that after he leaves office, everyone still wants to blame Trump. If Biden felt it was important, he'd change it. Blame the current president and move on already.

Shrek: *sweating intensifies*

Protect Wetlands. Millennials and Gen Z ain’t fw destroying planet Earth

Orrrrrrr just give people free healthcare.

Guess trump really did drain the swamps

‘I’m worried about the swamp'... 🙄

"Money isn't everything" - easy to say when it's not you without a job and with a family to feed.

the woman at the end made the best point.

NO MORE BLAMING HIM FOR THE WORLDS PROBLEMS HES GONE NOW!! GET IT TOGEATHER PEOPLE!!

You're gonna go and piss off shrek. Don't go destroying shreks home because you're gonna piss him off and he will f**k you up, homes. You saw what happened to Lord Farquad (Lord Fuckwad). Him and donkey might even join forces and smash lmfao oh god i always respond to insanity with humor. I guess it's one of my strong points. :)

He said he'd drain the swamp.

Trump who?

Wheeler and Pruitt did take care of Superfund. But everything else they did was horrible

Wait. Did Trump LITERALLY drain a swamp?

Thank God somebody cares!

4:53 Maybe if the kids don't have health insurance cause of the lost jobs, DONT TIE HEALTH INSURANCE TO JOBS! This is why we need Medicare for all

The swamp ending the swamp?! Well THAT'S ironic!

The Republican's endless war on the natural radiant world: even now the damage is incalculable. We will never learn. EVER.

Twin pines president is full of it Y All don't care about the lands health y'all only care if that land can double or 3x ur profit

I mean we’ve seen multiple outcomes of mines near natural places, they still don’t do much, they do dispose of it but most of the time it ends up on the people

We need jobs and crocodiles

4:02 The people who put up the money are not sceptical about the operation doing enough to protect the environment - they are sceptical of the return of their money if too many restrictions are put on the operation due to environmental protection measures - obviously enough. Appearantly this Ingle guy equates the lack of greed in people with them being utterly gullible. This doesn't bode well for everyone wanting the swamp, just saying.

The swap will get messed up thanks to number 45.....

That place sucks! I'd rather profit from changing it......... wtf is wrong with us to be that desperate . Addicted to money
