Why are people complaining? The administration has given them buckets of support. Oh wait, that was a bucket brigade… I’ll probably get raked over the coals for that. I’ll fix it! Where’s my Sharpie…?
Both the national forest service and the national park service used to have money in their budgets to do forest management, but their budgets have been cut year after year. We don’t do maintenance anymore. We like to camp and where once we saw clearing and controlled burns to keep the forests clean, that work doesn’t get done any more. We don’t do maintenance on other stuff, too. Like hiways and bridges and water treatment plants and all kinds of necessary public assets. But, the corporations get their subsidies and tax cuts, and the rich get their tax cuts. And the R’s are always on about cutting the safety net for the less fortunate. And with the R’s in charge we also see the IRS budget gutted so the wealthy can get away with cheating. Vote for Trump, cheater in chief.

It does sure feel like whack-a-mole all right. Of course, that’s because of climate change making things a lot drier than they evolved with.

I saw a futuristic map that had the west coast and the New England states as being part of Canada!
