I’m hearing that the USFS has laid off huge numbers of firefighters, including veterans, and won’t be allowed to hire their usual seasonal firefighting force this year.

Hey at least that means the nukes might not work?

No, it means someone might walk away with some nukes.

Drive away is probably more realistic, though. Those things are a bit heavy…

You’d be surprised what you can fit in a Prius,

I guess that’s still driving though.

I’d bet real money that Israel is the place we’ll see nukes going off.

They don’t maintain the nukes. They make sure they’re accounted for.

When I worked retail, we took inventory of stuff even if the computer said it hadn’t been sold, because people would steal shit. If we stopped doing inventory, we’d never know the thefts had happened.

Imagine that, but instead of iPads, we lose track of nuclear weapons.

also, if all the national parks burn, no more need for a park service at all, or a fish and wildlife agency. #winning.
