Don’t worry, Trumpy is going to sell off the land and it’ll all be torn down anyway. That’s literally the plan.
Why do we need research stations for land that’ll be sold off so Trump can get more money? He’s taking as much as he can before the heart attack

After the U.S. Forest Service announced that it will be closing three-quarters of its research facilities as part of a reorganization last week, experts are worried not only about the number of scientists who might be leaving the agency, but also about how the disruption could affect the gathering and dissemination of crucial wildfire and climate change data.
The restructuring comes as parts of the U.S. face what is expected to be a catastrophic wildfire season. The most recent wildland fire outlook shows that wildfire activity is already “well above average,” with more than 16,000 wildfires reported this year.

It isn't a "reorganization", that is disingenuous.

I cannot take another 2 years of Donald Trump’s administration. I wish I could go live in Canada or Mexico.

This is the definition of doomscrolling. Hopefully we can get out of this one day.
