One potential alternative that springs to mind is to repurpose these lands for use with AI datacenters and power generation for AI applications. Locate an AI data center in these forested regions, that could help pay for the workers needed to maintain the land. Tesla Optimus robots could be made to do the jobs of at least 2-3 of these forest workers, and could be shut down and stored when not in use. This will eliminate the significant expense of having to seasonally offload workers, as it really changes it to be more of a storage vs. labor problem.
I’m not comfortable with the government giving more corporate welfare to some of the richest companies in humanity.
Also really not comfortable with giving more welfare to a single individuals company that routinely breaks the law and brags about firing unionized workers.
