Why are rangers at our National Parks being fired? Pitiful. Already understaffed and over worked. I get it, private enterprise can be good but the government should contribute to parks, museums, libraries and such.

How often do you think Musk or Trump ever visits a national park? I think that's your answer. I doubt Trump has even set foot in one his entire life.

My nephew-in-law is in charge of a nat'l forest district in AZ. He is at this moment just off on a friggin Disney cruise and coming home to this shit. Trumper you ask? Of course as are most of his rangers and other staff.
 
I am with my family down at the OBX this weekend. This morning we went to the Wright bros memorial, which is part of the national parks system. When we got to the gate, they waved us through without payment… I thought it was odd. But just came to find out it was due to the fact that their computer systems were down and several of their staff members had been fired. WTF
 


“… Probationary workers across multiple federal health agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services received virtually identical letters Saturday evening informing them they would be terminated from their positions, sources told CBS News.

"Unfortunately, the Agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency's current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment at the Agency," read the letter obtained by CBS News.

The letter was signed by Jeffrey Anoka, acting head of human resources for the Department of Health and Human Services. One health official told CBS News thousands of letters were sent out Saturday. …”

“…
More than 5,000 probationary workers at health agencies had initially been slated to be let go, though not all received letters of termination Saturday. Some letters were also sent in error to people not intended to be let go, officials said.

Some agencies have also been granted exemptions for a portion of their staff on the chopping block, as backlash has mounted over cuts at agencies like the Indian Health Service.

Also not on the final list of cuts ordered by the Trump administration was the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service, the agency's "disease detectives," CBS News learned. Officials overseeing the fellowship had initially warned health departments and those in their ranks that they would be halved.

Fellowship programs elsewhere in the agency were not as lucky. Officials said CDC's Public Health Associate Program, which places recent graduates in health departments throughout the country, was cut.

Other agencies losing staff Saturday include the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, which oversees the nation's pandemic stockpiles, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the National Institutes of Health. …”

Because once Trump enacts his tariffs on Canada, we're going to need to get our lumber from somewhere. No need for rangers when the trees are going to get cut down.
 
What is truly staggering about all of this is that it is all totally unnecessary. The government was working well before Trump took office, and anyone who believes otherwise isn't in touch with reality. Was it perfect? Of course not - it's never been - but overall it worked pretty well. There is simply no good need for all of these deep cuts and firings and ending research funding. All of this is nothing more than the final stages of the petty and wildly vindictive Trumper vendetta against experts, expertise, mainstream science, the professional classes, college-educated people, and pretty much everything they resent and hate and are jealous of. And that's why so many Trumpers are gloating as of the moment - they love seeing these people suffer and getting hurt. For the base that's what matters. For Elon and Thiel and other wealthy plutocrats this is simply a massive attempt at personal grift and a way to pay for even more tax breaks and control of our society for themselves.

Indeed, it is perplexing that is that Trump ignored the the new administration was starting on Third Base. Again. He could have taken credit for reduced inflation, #1 economy in the world, #1 O&G producers, real wages increasing, best higher education on the planet, best science & technology.

Instead, he BROKE IT.

Trump 2.0 became the Airing of Grievances Tour and Billionaire Bros coup instead.

Just making sure this is sarcasm? The "immigrant taking jobs away from Americans" she refers to is Elon Musk.
