Thank you.

I'd be interested to learn about what damage was done to the capital during riots and what work was done to restore windows and such.

[@Semper_Iratus]

Not much in the way of damage.

When they have to cut down a tree, does the wood go into making something important? I'd like to believe that it does.

In one of the videos, they mentioned some of it is crafted for stuff that is sold at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.

I’m pretty sure the Native Americans in the area we’re doing everything that they could to preserve the land and its natural beauty. Great work nonetheless
