Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you’re a regular parks visitor, one way to make a point is to stop going. If enough regular pass purchasers suddenly don’t, bottom lines may in turn get affected, which in turn may effect positive change.
It’s also possible that the above may have the exact opposite effect, and worsen the parks situation altogether, so it’s really up the pass purchasers to determine how much orange shit they’ll put up with.
Sounds like a great way for the parks department to lose even more funding.
As intended.
That’s covered in the second paragraph.
I have bought one every year for the past 6. I won't be buying one this year. There are plenty of other parks to go to.
You also don't need a parks pass to visit the national parks... It's not even all that economical.
Yes but depending on how many parks you go to in a year, it's often the most economical way to visit more than two or three parts or a park more than two or three times in a year. Which is normally something that I do quite often. Even last year in a very slow travel year for me I visited I think five different parks and some of those parks multiple times.
I mean you always have the opportunity as well to go early in the morning and stay throughout the day or go late at night and do you think that most normal people don't get to do. One of my favorite things I've ever done was a midnight hike to delicate art and arts is national park. Early October little bit of snow and ice on the ground, beautiful midnight sky with stars all over. Absolutely phenomenal with not a single person anywhere near.
