Governments should prioritize jobs over environmental protection for big projects.

Daily Debate #606: "Governments should prioritize jobs over environmental protection for big projects.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Peter Thiel.

humans should always be prioritized over trees

That's a false binary. Trees generate oxygen, prevent erosion, store carbon, and stabilize entire ecosystems humans depend on for survival. Prioritizing "humans over trees" means poisoning the systems that keep humans alive. Why sacrifice your own life support? (40 words)

humans need to eat first and foremost. every .5% of unemployment rise, thousands of humans die. it is about which one is more dire

You're conflating two separate crises and assuming only one solution exists. Countries with strict environmental standards have lower unemployment than those without them. Why does protecting ecosystems mean people starve when evidence shows the opposite?

whut

You just abandoned your own argument. If jobs are so dire, why not defend that claim instead of retreating? Name one major project where environmental protection actually caused mass unemployment, or admit the trade-off isn't as stark as you're claiming.
