My wife is a NPS ranger and at least once a year she’ll come home and talk about how a new ranger is stressed out by the possibility of a shutdown.
I can’t express how angry it makes me that these poor kids have to deal with that bullshit. The new rangers are usually fresh out of grad school and broke because they just moved across country for a low paying job.
All they want to do is wear their dorky ass uniforms and info dump on tourists. They’re literally like the best of us Americans
I’ll never understand how people can so easily play with other people’s lives as if it were a joke
I hope everything works out for you and your parents.
