You can DOGE all you want, but a lot of services in national parks are done where these folks make a pertinence of money and save many people who visit.

That's just it. The *idea* behind DOGE is a good one, but this is the dumbest fucking administration in U.S. history, so they haven't really cut anything that turned out to be a net positive. Gutting the NWS was a dangerous and, as we see here, deadly amount of stupidity.
As was gutting the National Parks. The National Park Service here actually turns a profit of $30+ billion for the federal government every year. They're the last thing that DOGE should be fucking with. Not only is it not "waste, fraud and abuse", the National Parks bring in tens of billions every year. And these fucking morons are destroying that.
