Shitass little kid can’t even think of what to turn a tree into. LMAO
On one hand, I want to mail you a brick. On the other hand, I am upvoting you for your shitposter take.

This is something we really need to take on: not all value needs to be utility or monetary based. Things can have existential value, too.
Unfortunately we take the former approach with just about everything. We willingly tie our worth as a human to our work performance or some other ridiculous metric. You don’t have to be the paragon of project management, or a world famous influencer to be deemed worthy. You are worthy just because you exist.
Trees, frogs, and mosses all have inalienable rights to exist, too. Since they comprise the natural world, and actually perform functions to sustain said world, they have value. Moreso, I would argue, than an exemplar of project management, or bumping up a number on the NYSE. More value than the table we could make from the trees, or the extra bit of space we could use from destroying wetland (frog) habitat.
Reminds me of this story. The commentary isn’t really necessary, imo. The story stands without it.
…poor little Timmy later got lost and went on to die from exposure in that forest, unable to build shelter.
He just couldn’t work out what to do with the sticks. Insisting the sticks not be moved from where they fell was ultimately the problem, if you ask me.
Is this by Sergio Aragones? It looks like his style. I did a reverse image search and couldn’t figure it out.
Absolutely his style. He a real one.
Looks like it but I don’t know. The site I stole it from had already removed any signature, if there was one.
Definitely Sergio. No doubt about it.
I was thinking it looks like one from MAD magazine, so it must be Sergio.
I like how the comic becomes progressively sun bleached
Dude in the third panel needs to go to the hospital. His leg is bending the wrong way.
That’s why he’s thinking about furniture, man needs to rest.
All of these views are valid. A tree has to be seen for what it can provide. If it’s more valuable to society and nature as a tree, leave it be. If other trees can gain from it being removed earlier than its natural decay demands, I’d argue to remove it.
A live tree has no value in on our financial system.
Shade from street trees provides fairly straightforward financial benefit in reducing cooling costs.
Can also make an area more attractive, increase happiness and also improve road safety if strategically placed.
Trees prevent soil erosion, keep water clean, provide the basis for many beneficial insects and so forth and so on. They have a giant value in our financial system.
Ok, now put a monetary value to that
I‘d have to get my tables from work. It highly depends on the species, soil, size, location, age, natural area of the species and so forth. A decently sized oak at around 100-150 years old usually gets weighed in at around 2000€. Variation however is a given.
And who pays the 2000€? Is it an annual payment?
It’s an investment? Just like an office building or a company car?
A live tree has no immediate quarterly value in our financial system.
This tree is by a path, so it’s better to leave it be.
Other trees can be sustainably harvested and made into whatever our society needs.
Depends. Is it stable? Does it pose a threat to passer bys ?
I wanna build a tree house and live symbiotically.
one will protect you the other will try to kill you

I would imagine to set it on fire…
