More Perfect Union: Trump and Musk are making park rangers homeless.

[Passages]

As rangers lose their jobs and housing, visitors get hit with long lines, trail closures, and out of service bathrooms.

Now people are furious, they're protesting, and parks are becoming sites of solidarity with fired workers.

And keep the sale proceeds.

The way I see it is the lands are up for sale, timber and mineral rights. Upvote

5. Trump can't stand to see all of that go to waste.

He sees dollar signs, money that could go into his pocket.

To hell with people enjoying US nature, beauty, recreation.

7. That is why governments are supposed to just govern

Not run a country like a business. Any so called profits are supposed to benefit every citizen, not those who already have too much. When getting into politics is your ticket for a bigger bank account, rather than working for the betterment of your fellow citizens, you're going to have bigger separations between the rich and poor. The laws will end up being made to continue to benefit themselves and not the people they were elected to help.

8. Psychopaths believe everything belongs to them.

The idea that something belongs to other people, or that the US belongs to the people
does not compute for them.

Another example is China. They have come right and stated that all intellectual property in the world belongs to them. That no one else has the right to keep their ideas or inventions to themselves. So China regular hacks into US computers to gain business and military secrets.
Because it is really their property.

9. should be even easier to hack now with new cyber security firings and changes

This world is so bizarre-o. I don't know why I chose to be born during these time

10. I think DOGE is installing computer back doors for various groups.

So it is going to be very easy to hack into the federal govt now.

I know, I wanted to go to a spa planet and I got sent here by mistake.

6. This is what I will miss the most about not crossing the border

I have been to many National Parks. My favourite was Zion, although I missed Bryce Canyon which I hear is amazing. Crater Lake brought me to a standstill when I walked to the edge to look down, I was in awe. It is a crazy world we live in, when we have to stand up to our closest neighbours and fight for our sovereignty and freedom from those neighbours. It sounds so stupid to have to write that. It's frightening to have it an actual reality.
