God I hate this country

Dude I live smack dab in the center Of 3 national parks. Park rangers do almost ZERO of the work in keeping the parks clean or maintained. In my early 20’s I worked for PNWTA one of many groups contracted by the forest service to go do the actually work on the trails making them usable and functional for the public. Want to know how many forest service workers I would run into on any given day? Yep like zero or if you did see one they were hiding in the truck…

@ZacksJerryRig National Parks Service: 20k total employees, 1k probationary employees removed. National Forest Service 30k total employees, 3.4k probationary employees removed. Yep, everything is going tits up. If Obama was in office he'd deploy fences around the Vietnam Memorial.

Cite the source of this info- otherwise it’s just a sarcastic clown spewing falsehoods

gonna go out on a limb here by saying that laying off the people that care for our National Parks is ~really bad~ thing

I know this is going to be a tough concept for some people, but have any of you ever considered that nature doesn't need thousands of employees to be maintained? Like yall really got this news and imagined thousands of employees guarding our national parks like some sort of Night's Watch, and now think the white walkers and wildlings are just going to destroy every national park overnight because the resistance has been removed. Get a grip.

My guess: every park will still be there in 4 years.

I bet none of the parks suffer. Guy seems to have TDS.
