@sickburnbro @cjd @caekislove @Shadowman311 @WandererUber I would have thought that more southern/flatland fast growth forests would've been quick to adopt the more mechanized methods, but from what I can gather (pure speculation) about the way American forestry is done, the bigger thing is to pack as many trees into an acre as possible for financial/real estate valuation purposes, cherry pick good timber from every harvest for the sawmill, then send the rest to pulp mills. Whether it produces quality lumber is irrelevant because most of it is being sent to pulp mills or engineered lumber product factories, and the land is being held for investment portfolios, not productive use.

@rlier23 @PankoPoster @graf @grey 2 reasons:
First is that no matter what's actually going on he doesn't want to induce panic, scaring away brands and talent, effectively sinking the company overnight.
Second is that if there actually is legal BS pending, the worst thing a company in trouble with a handsy government can do is to call attention to the handsy government, risking retaliation. Whether or not the legal action is justified or by the book is irrelevant if he's been handed a gag order and is forced to watch his company burn to the ground while fighting the system, so his safest choice to keep the company afloat while looking for an exit strategy (if he's even thinking of an exit strategy) is quietly letting his own reputation burn to prevent the same from happening to his bank account.
