So, was I right? Did deforestation pick up when growth resumed? More or less. It's not a perfect match, but this hideous double chart shows defo tracks growth *until Lula*. The chart below shows defo by admin (wiki) and growth, semi-transparent & flipped upside down, so bigger bars are more growth.

I'm sure the patience is deep. But the station groups have their own monetary interests. And even billionaires grow tired of setting money on fire if the metrics show them that no one is watching/reading the propaganda.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to
