Patagonia Says Trump ‘Stole’ Land That Remains Public

The outdoor clothing company Patagonia is waging an over-the-top campaign against President Donald Trump, claiming he "stole" land that remains under control of the federal government.

Customers looking to buy a pair of $79 yoga pants are immediately bombarded with political activism against the Trump administration. "The president stole your land," a large black banner reads, directing users to "take action" against the Department of the Interior's decision to reduce the size of two federal monuments and create three new ones.

One of the monuments in question is Bears Ears in Utah, which has been a monument for less than a year. Former president Barack Obama unilaterally seized 1.35 million acres for the monument on Dec. 28, 2016, just weeks before leaving office. Obama designated over two times as many acres as federal land than all other presidents combined.

More public lands. The nation politic is not a resource to provide jobs and be exploited. How about we put dopes to work on that fantasy border WALL. Better yet lets send the aspiring " middle class " to work in China and send money here like our own immigrants do. Things are changing. Your white picket fences and Christian hopes are fading.
