More important things to worry about like inflation, crime and most of all government corruption

[SuperWooba]

This is what he uses his executive powers for? The people can starve with no food and die with no healthcare, but will someone please think of the trees? lol

[navie]

Wooow! This will definitely help food and gas prices go down ! Ty Joe

[Livlifetaistdeth]

This is just poor optics. War, inflation, border crisis, Flailing VP but hey guys we saved some trees.

[Deltron]

I wish he'd sign an executive order removing himself from office.

I want to show up in a stranger’s backyard and receive a free cellphone.

Can we protect the middle class and the purchasing power of the dollar?

Didn't think so.

California needs to practice Forest Management....

[owensdaddy]

Feeding our family should be top priority

[Obsidian_Dad]

Let’s protect our old trees but not our border, workers, or citizens from oil prices gouging

[FloridaMan.]

he should be protecting the southern border

[MJPGuitar]

Of all the issues that the common middle class American is going through right now, you choose to focus on some trees. Great job.

I don't trust this administration. Insider trading by congress and family members needs to be addressed.

He’s just trying to please the green people after re opening the oil industry 😂

"I went to a petting zoo today." No joe, that was an elementary school.

"There is trouble in the forest there is unrest in the trees for the maples want more sunlight and the oaks ignore their pleas."

[ancientheart]

Do you realize how much energy (oil) it takes to fine the silicon needed to make solar panels?

[petersdinkladge]

Oh my God he listened to the trees he's the best president ever this bill is all I ever wanted from any president and he did it! It's wonderful for the trees. My kids are hungry and I can't afford fuel but it's so worth it for the fukin trees

[activedelta]

Imagine going out of your way to protect everyone and everything except the people you’re actually sworn to protect.

Another single-term President.

People have to care about feeding their families and having affordable gas to drive to work. Read the room Biden
