What a shitty thing to do on the USA’s birthday, as if it will do any help to the USA’s already ravaged tourism industry. It’s sad since compared to the rest of the functioning world, the National Park System is the ONLY good thing going for the USA. And yet Trump wants to jeopardize that!
Dear rest of the world, please visit North America but definitely consider changing your US itineraries to Canada so you won’t directly give any money to Trump’s USA or fear being jailed if something is wrong with your paperwork.
Watch Trump decimate the trees and wildlife further tarnishing the parks.
US is such a fail. Cut down your national forests and charge more $ to tourists, if they even want to come cause Murican assclowns are detaining and deporting people randomly at the border for a meme on a phone.
And Canada will make our national parks free.
Gargle balls USA.
I suspect that declining attendance at public parks will be used as justification to fund them less, then shut them down, then sell off the land to resource exploiters.
It’s exactly like the plan with Medicaid: burdensome bullshit paperwork makes people either just stop trying, or resent the government…making it far easier to reduce the capability of already meager social programs even further.
That really surprised me on my first visit to a US national park, that you have to pay. Oh, you want to see nature? Show me the money!
Why Canada is the same.
I mean Canada has 2x as many unregulated parks as regulated. Those are all free.
I’m actually fine paying for things at regulated parks, that money goes to maintaining the park and amenities.
“Mr. Trump, we’re losing money because Canadian tourism is massively down. What should we do?”
“Let’s make coming to the US even less attractive. That’ll surely help”
Well, Americans picked an expert at bankruptcy, so he is doing what he is best at.
Americans picked a Russian intelligence asset tasked with destroying their country. Future generations will have a hard time understanding any of this.
Bankrupt america to sell it to the highest bidder.
