saw on the LA news that CA relies on seasonal hires in the federal firefighting ranks to combat the fires which occur in the federal forests thoughout the state, because of the hiring freeze these seasonal positions will not be filled and that holds true for any wildfire which develops in any state
This defunding and firing of government employees certainly isn’t about saving money. If it was, the pentagon would have been the first place DOGE would have gone.
The only good thing to come of this is that it has opened the eyes of people that didn't care or understand how much the government helps not only Americans but the world on a daily basis
They are doing the mass deportations, the mass layoffs, and Musk has taken the keys to the treasury.
Their plan is to crash our economy and profit from the Fire Sale. WHAT'S OUR PLAN?
Hunker down focus on local leadership and local goods and services. Get friendly with the neighbors, burry my cash in the yard, update my pass port and have an emergency plan for long power outage and food shortages.
But didn’t Trump just say that we need to hire people to rake the forest ? 🌳 I guess he really doesn’t remember a single thing that comes out his lying hole.
ALT TXT: White background with picture of Smokey the Bear on the left side leaning on a shovel. Right side says “Only you can prevent forest fires” then down at the bottom it says “Seriously. We’ve been defunded. It’s just you now.”
My son works for the Forest Service in Southern Oregon.He did maintenance on all the campgrounds,trails,rest areas,bathrooms,etc.He was riffed along with hundreds of other workers.It’s not like this work doesn’t need to be done.Who do they think is going to take care of our national campgrounds?
Oregonian here.
And I am watching Magat neighbors on Facebook cheering about the "cost cutting."
The same ones that live in communities devastated by wildfires the past several years.
Fire season starts again in just a few months.
😵💫
It's the same here in Ontario, Canada.
Our Premier, Doug Ford ( besties with trump ) cut our funding way back to fight wildfires. Next time you're breathing all our smoke down there, you can thank Doug Ford.
I have been in a forest, and I have pine trees in my backyard yard. Logically, tell me how to keep the underbruch cleaned up all of the time and the dead pine needles off of the ground.
And yet, Magats living in areas that have been hit by wildfires year after year are... yes, you are reading this right... CHEERING.
😳
The fires will come again in just a few months.
These idiots.
Sadly, those of us with brains will be affected, and ruined, too.
I will never forgive them. Never.

I suggest edibles. They'll fetch a nice price on the underground market.
He's raking in the cash.
😂
Did DOGE try to call?

I guess the boycott for nascar is over.

We are on our own
I will never forgive the drumpf response, rather the lack of one.
My life was capsized
This has to be stopped
The orange turd wants to destroy national parks for the land and minerals
I trust that controlled forest burns will be useful in MAGA management now

On a serious note... what do we make of the 14 American flag emojis on Musk's approval reply to Tr*** wannabe dictator post?
