The Forest Service just got hosed...

Yosemite is effed, MOST of their staff are seasonal folks that have worked there for years, only during the season.

FJB.
 
they are cutting all of the EPA $ too. REALLY beating us up this year.

Look @ the $ allocated every administration for air pollution monitoring. during Blue administrations, money dries up. During Red administrations, they get funded again.......... kind of strange given who keeps shouting "global Climate change" all of the time. right.............
 
Lets try and do more with less and see what happens. We all have to stick to a budget.
 
Well, we WANT to close more of the land, but damn you're doing such a good job of managing it, we have no excuses to close more. But Sir, if we didn't have as many staff, it wouldn't get cleared, cleaned up and ready for the public...so we could just close it and say we don't have the people to keep it open.....Yes, yes Sir I believe we can........

This is all Enviro BS....to close more lands.

Agree. Let's cut where the fat is least useful. For example:

$200 Million to Famous Music Artists from the ‘Small Business’ Administration​

Through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, the Small Business Administration (SBA) funneled $200 million to some of the biggest names in entertainment. “So-called ‘small business owners,’ such as Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Smashing Pumpkins, received up to $10 million each,” the report notes. “Even Nickelback received $2 million.”

The purpose of the program was to provide financial relief to small entertainment businesses during the pandemic shutdowns. But apparently, the SBA has a hard time defining the word small.

Of course, even the money that did go to genuinely small businesses arguably counts as government waste, as I’ve explained elsewhere.

This would've got them halfway there. Fucking Nickelback got $2M? Jesus, someone call the FWA Hotline ASAP.

I suppose that depends on what line of business you are in. as someone who manufactures & sells air pollution instruments to Fed/State/local EPA's & to businesses that have to monitor their emissions........... YEA I think its bad. LOL.

and......... FWIW, having lived in San Bernadino in the 70's I can say for CERTAIN the emissions regulations that were put in place has helped air quality (all over the world, save for China).
