Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023.
The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion.
Thatβs some return on investment β so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

By the way, Grok, data is a plural word. Your grammar sucks.
The coolest thing Iβve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
