Anyone who has been paying attention to the grim and destructive ways the trumpers are handling the “transition” can’t miss where they are going as far as selling off public lands to their billionaire buddies so they can extract rare earths and fossil fuels, leave the parks in a shambles, and walk away.
My daughter works for the forest service in the summer and this coming summer she is supposed to be on a fire team. They are hearing that the supplemental pay they received was part of the Infrastructure Act and therefore probably not going to be offered this year. Most of these workers do 16 days straight, at least 10 hour days and then get 3 days off before another 16 on. This is very hard work and not worth it if they only get minimum wage. It looks like many wildland engines will be very understaffed this year.
