The following is the transcript of my troop deployment (i.e. ending rant) from episode 92 of my news podcast The Mind Killer. If you like it, please consider subscribing to the podcast Probably the worst casualty of the looming government shutdown will be the National Park Service. I’m usually no fan of the government doing things, but national parks are an exception. During the 2013 shutdown, the NPS closed all the parks, which sucked for everyone. They took so much shit for it that during the 2018 shutdown, the Trump administrations just said “fuck it” and let everyone into the parks with like 5% of the usual staff. That meant there was nobody to maintain trails, empty the trash, prevent overcrowding, or provide timely medical care when people were injured.
