The plan is to break the parks, claim they must be privatized, take them from the American people and give them to their friends.

Similar to every plan they've ever had for every part of government service (public education, public health, public libraries) the list goes on and on: break it so that taxpayer money can go to a private provider of their choosing.

Sell the product/service back to the people at higher cost and lower quality. Unfortunately the public is way too dumb to catch on. They just keep re-electing these shitheads. Americans are so fucking stupid.

The National Park budget is $3.6 billion but it creates $55 billion in economic output. Needless to say not a single one of Elon Musk's "companies" has ever come remotely close to achieving THAT kind of a result. Because they are all Ponzi schemes and grift mills collecting taxpayer subsidies.

Here's a much more plausible idea: Clearly the puppet regime clued in even some of the lesser but still useful idiots in good time about the tariffs back and forth and the stock collapse it would inevitably bring about. So they could protect their "investments." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I'm so glad you were able to come and tour some of the Parks. My daughter is a Park Ranger. We used to tour the Parks in the summers when they were growing up. It's why she went into the Park Service. Lots of foreign tourists. I just wish more Americans would visit, too.
