The republicans are also gutting our national parks and selling them off.
Big cuts and sweeping changes have destabilized the National Park Service and its core missions.
National parks facing ‘nightmare’ under Trump, warns ex-director of service
I'll never forgive NPS leadership, the pace at which they moved to follow illegal orders was astounding. HR moved faster than ever before to hire people when they are the ones that know best how to slow things down.
Not a single person in a position of power pushed back in anyway way. I'm not even talking about defying orders here. They didn't even use existing policy to slow things down. There are mechanisms and choices that could have been made, but they didn't do it.
I agree with you, but I think it's important to point out that the people in power from his first term and now, are trump sychophants or direct placements by republicans. They didn't do anything because they didn't want to.
Not true, he appointed the Secretary (who also appoints the Director) yes but truthfully they do basically none of the work. The non-political civilian service employees do the work. Think regional directors (not politically appointed), heads of regional HR, and park superintendents.
These people had the ability to slow things down, and they chose not to. At best a few people resigned and interim leadership stepped in to carry out orders. These interim leaders were already NPS employees various Chiefs and Deputies of different branches (regional and parks).
These are people that have been in the park service 20+ years. Hell I saw a few of them break down and cry, and yet they kept the agendas rolling.
Policy alone lets you take 3 sick days in a row with no doctors note. At least do that much to slow it down
I hope whoever is in office next is absolutely cutthroat about demagafication and goes after every company and individual profiting off of this with the full fury of RICO and anti-trust laws to reclaim America's national parks.
