What a shitty thing to do on the USA’s birthday, as if it will do any help to the USA’s already ravaged tourism industry. It’s sad since compared to the rest of the functioning world, the National Park System is the ONLY good thing going for the USA. And yet Trump wants to jeopardize that!
Dear rest of the world, please visit North America but definitely consider changing your US itineraries to Canada so you won’t directly give any money to Trump’s USA or fear being jailed if something is wrong with your paperwork.
That really surprised me on my first visit to a US national park, that you have to pay. Oh, you want to see nature? Show me the money!
Why Canada is the same.
We couldn’t possibly tax the rich to pay for the upkeep.
