Demolition Derby 0

The Trump administration has fired the only locksmith at Yosemite National Park, the person responsible for keeping track of hundreds of keys and locks for everything from bathrooms to gun safes. You can read the full story at the link, but I think this bit encapsulates how Trump and Musk and the rest of Trump’s are approaching their jobs:

“The people that fired me don’t know who I am, or what I do,” Vince wrote on Instagram. “They simply don’t understand this park and how big and complex it is.”

Substitute “government” for “park” in the quotation above; the statement will still hold true.

The bulls are well and truly loose in the china shop and are intent on destroying it.
