Apparently missing the point, an angry Meany thundered that any guidelines were interference in the collective bargaining process. According to one participant, the President's lips were white with anger as he left the room for his next appointment.

Within 20 years, the Atlantica forest was turned into pasture lands and coffee plantations, and now the area is marching toward desertification." The process is hastened by decreased rainfall. Even when it does rain the water runs off quickly, because there are no tree roots left to hold it. Nutrients are washed away, and the land can barely support the Pomeranians' cattle and subsistence crops...
