re: Is the Trump administration really firing park rangers and national park employees?

I hope so

I have a friend in Alaska who had friends in the forest service that did good work. As a Robert Kennedy fan who values how sacred our environment is this is just silly to cut a midst the countless actual fraudulent departments in the federal government

This story is told over and over for every federal employee who loses their job. "No, not there! Those folks were doing essential work." Some were, some weren't, but it can't be avoided. Our government is absurdly expensive, and getting moreso at an increasing rate. Hard choices have arrived.

Despite all the protests coming from every quarter, unaffordable debt growing exponentially faster than the economy is an economic deathstar that makes these govt cutbacks pale in comparison. The longer that problem goes unaddressed, the more harsh the outcome. 25 years ago we could have trimmed the fat. Now we have to cut meat off the bone. Soon we'll be amputating limbs.

How is Nature supposed to nature without them

The land should all be returned to the states and become state parks.

Let them keep the revenue and have the expenses.

I was with you until you decided to talk shite. I'm glad your friends got fired and I hope they shut down every national park and sell the land to developers... of trailer parks.

I don’t know if this would work in practice. The vast majority of federal wilderness doesn’t bring in any Revenue at all, and many, if not most or all, of the states out west cannot afford to maintain the millions of acres of protected wilderness.

I think in practice it would result in most of the the states selling off the land to developers and ruining what we currently have out there.

This is an instance where government spending money on something gives us all a huge return. Very few other people in the world can claim to have the wealth of nature and wilderness that we do.

The national park service was recruiting gays

Many lesbians.

This has been true for years. Back to Obama practices. Several Rangers have told me this many times.
