Based fuck those welfare queens. Can’t wait for California to finally turn into literal hell with fire and brimstone to accompany the figurative hell that’s been brewing there for decades.
>>2865643 I'm in Oregon. We still got plenty. The green part of the state uses camera. High desert and mountains is still staffed. Try most west coast states. We hire at the end of fire season: Sept-Dec on USAJobs It's a job for retired people and people at a dead end in life. I would know better than anyone.
>>2865643 Government is slow to change. It will probably switch to nasa heat seeking radar at some point but it's been pretty unreliable at times too. >>2865717 partially true. there's a lot of bad lookouts and even though there's a lot of seniority, the pay isn't enough to keep people around. the jobs all about tons of overtime hours with a lower pay than flipping burgers. so no social life, which usually leads to problems for the unitiated. >>2865712 i tell people im an insurance policy against mass destruction. if technology fails it's an expensive mistake. even calling things in 10-30 minutes faster can save millions.

OP keeps posting this one board after board without even checking catalogs for existing threads. It keeps getting pointed out that the Forest Service isn't being "dismantled" and certainly isn't being "shut down". The headquarters are being moved from DC to Utah. Regional offices are being relocated. State level directors are being added. Instead of the Forest Service being mostly people in DC issuing dictates for use thousands of miles away from land they've never seen, regulatory power is being moved out to the areas in which the forests exist. The authors of these articles know this. OP knows this and now you know this. But if you want to be constantly outraged, you will ignore this and continue to pretend that the Forest Service is actually being shut down because outrage is the only emotion you're capable of processing anymore. Guarantee within 24 hours from now, OP will start another thread, hoping this one dies because it contains inconvenient facts that he really wants you to not know about.
>>2865976 I would say yes but again these are the staff at DC office, they wouldnt have retirees or volunteers like a ranger district office would. The people in the front row are current leadership. https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/newsroom/leadership-biographies
>>2865974 Yes, this article and others are alarmist and the FS is not getting dismantled. However, you are falling for a culture war talking point if you think moving the hq to utah magically makes it more effective. Maybe a century ago it could make sense but today any person in DC can fly out to any ranger district in a day, or can get on video calls with any of them instantly. If you look into the bios of any leadership most all of them started as seasonals in ranger districts throughout the country, they do know their lands. Regulatory power doesnt change because of where the office it comes from is located.
>>2865528 It means Donald Dump is going to sell the national parks off to the billionaires that funded his re-election to build a technofascist regime and waste our military arsenal for Israel
>>2865989 Conservation, policing, and sustainable foresty like controlled burns and stuff. Its called silviculture and you have to go to school for it. Thats right, park rangers are smarter than you.
>>2869102 >Thats right, park rangers are smarter than you Kek Most of them just sit in a booth all day doing nothing The current policy for forests nowadays is "leave it alone" because everybody is too lazy to actually do work to properly manage wildlife habitat. And even if they wanted to they would need to jump through millions of hoops and red tapes so they can't actually do anything
>nooooo you can't just distribute forest service leadership out to the parks where they operate, you NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED to maintain a useless salary guzzling group that does nothing, knows nothing, and only inhibits operation because things need to go through them and they never go to their office or pick up their phone, that's how our democracy needs to work you fascist chuddite!
