[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve traveled all over the world. Many tourist destinations in other countries are littered with garbage, the lines are 5 hours to get tickets, there is no food/drink. It’s sad. That’s what our NP will be like. Thanks Drumpy. SAD[/quote]

Where is this? I haven’t seen this in the main tourist spots in Western Europe which is the most comparable to us. Actually in contrast it is amazing how accessible nature is there. It is gorgeous and pristine - yet there is also an adorable hut serving good food with clean bathrooms out in the middle of nowhere too. Whereas here we have crappy food that is barely available in the parks. [/quote]
NP. Please learn something about the history of conservation in the US. A century ago conservationists like John Muir fought to ensure that we kept American wildnerness wild. Both for the benefit of natural ecosystems as well as to ensure that Americans did not lose touch with our roots. Nowadays, there is the added concern that encroachment of development into wilderness areas makes disasters such as wildfires more dangerous.

I have certainly enjoyed at times the easy access to remote areas in Europe, but little compares to the awe of the pristine wilderness areas we have in the US. Especially in the West. It would be a human tragedy to destroy all of this because an unelected megalomaniac like Musk unilaterally decided we don't need park rangers anymore.[/quote]
