It's so incredibly sad, US forests and parks are such a valuable part of what makes living in the US so special. My sister-in-law works on forests/parks and said the situation is really bad

Not joking - something tells me Trump doesn't spend much time in hiking in national parks.

You’re asking on the wrong platform lol this is an Elon question. It’s because there are 19yos randomly firing people without any forethought or strategy.

It's quite on brand for the administration isn't it? They are cutting as much as they can and parks don't typically have a great business case (because they're not meant to be money-makers). A cynic would say they are applying the "starve the beast" strategy. Defund the people who take care of these resources so you can say the resources have been poorly managed and then privatize them.

It's part of the overall plan to destroy the efficacy of XYZ government programs to either outsource what they just gutted to themselves/oligarchical friends, or to clear the way for whatever the private companies want. In this case it seems like a combo of the two - sell now "underutilized" lands to private developers and open up more opportunities for drilling/mining/resource firms to pop holes and drop pipes wherever they want.

Out of all the firings, this thread hit me the hardest and bothered me the most, especially considering the current status of the Bird flu. Just feels like we're becoming less and less prepared as a nation for what amounts to pennies saved. https://x.com/Farzad_MD/status/1890587835184324644

This is sad. I’ve legit never met a mean park ranger. They are always SO nice and helpful and genuine and they want me to love nature as much as they do. This is the wrong group to target!!!!

Some extrapolation from history in CEE here … when you want to sell, industrialize or mine, you first defund the orgs taking care of it. It then becomes a problem because nobody’s taking care of it and someone steps in to save it. Boom 💥 a plan just worked, only you’re couple of parks short and someone couple of $Bs long

I wonder what fraction of the NPS workforce could be crowdfunded with a transparent crypto DAO streaming salaries to vigilante rangers.

The forest service is an extension of usda. USDA has some deeply entrenched bureaucracy. The forest service has been running bizarre agendas for decades. I had to deal with forest service as part of renewable energy projects in the 00s, they were awful to deal with as was USDA, DNR, and DFW. The lack of common sense from these agencies is beyond repair. The forest service is likely a hard mix of truly wonderful outdoor people and gardened bureaucrats that confounds their ability to do much beyond the little they do.

I mentioned this in another comment. I'm sure he's got to be aware of it, although they abandoned their twitter account it seems and use bluesky and facebook. Could be punishment for that. They are openly in the "resistance" to trump/musk. https://bsky.app/profile/altnps.bsky.social
