Thanks to Trump's cuts, seasonal employees at Yosemite worked for as long as six weeks without pay. The National Park Service is one of our most popular government agencies. It's being gutted to fund enormously unpopular tax cuts for the super-rich.

Visitorship is way up at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, yet staff have been seriously cut. The NPS budget for 2025 is 13% less than requested, and 6% less than 2024. The 2025 budget for NPS is 3.122 billion. Compare that to what the NPS brings in: over 55 billion in 2024. Not making sense.

Agree with all the comments about destroying National Parks. Including the first in the world, Yellowstone. But, I also see it as a way to cause civic minded experts to not seek federal employment. And, oh, yes, it has been a fire sale for Canada and the EU. And, maybe others.
