People, man. Park rangers are the nation’s cat herders. The amount of stupidity they intercept, well, I’m glad I don’t have to do it, and I’m more than happy to see my tax dollars fund their health care.

Insofar as that still happens going forward. We may not have national parks in 4 yrs.

Oh we'll still have national parks. They'll just have oil and/or fracking rigs on them.

Barrow Island, off the coast of Australia, is a class A nature reserve housing a couple dozen unique indigenous species, beaches where turtles lay their eggs each year, and 900 oil wells and a natural gas plant owned by Chevron.

Just like our high school campuses. The national parks will be catching up with the rest of the country. It's about time we bring them into the glorious future!
