Bad enough that Trump has prevented a cure for cancer and defense against asteroids by securing the border. By paring down the bloated federal workforce, he is subjecting us to bear attacks.
KIRO reports from Washington State:
Sam Peterson, a former park ranger at Lake Roosevelt National Recreational Area in Eastern Washington, said the decimated staffing will leave park visitors without basic services like road maintenance, wilderness patrols and help at campgrounds.
“There’s going to be fewer park rangers at entrance stations and visitor centers to warn you that ‘Hey, this trail that you were planning on going on is dangerous,’” he said. “There’s going to be fewer park rangers to rove around a campground and tell you, ‘By the way, we’ve seen a black bear or a Grizzly bear’ or whatever.”
Because people are too stupid to take precautions regarding the possibility of there being bears in the woods.
Do the bears crap in the woods? Then this will be a problem:
“If this proceeds into the summer, into our busy seasons at national parks, every person is going to have to walk around with a washcloth and a roll of toilet paper to restock the bathrooms,” he said.
Like Lewis and Clark before them, campers might make their own arrangements when headed out into the wilderness, but what about the bears?
On the other hand, with the $billions saved by cutting fat from the federal workforce, we could afford to hire robotic toilet paper dispensers to follow bears through the forest.
