DOGE Fires SE Alaska Forestry and Park Workers

There have been dozens of forest and National Park service workers fired in SE Alaska’s Tongass National Forest by DOGE recently. The Mendenhall Glacier visitor center has just two maintenance workers remaining. At least three park rangers are needed for law enforcement and visitor safety at the site.

I view job loss as a normal part of the landscape. One just moves on to the next station in life. Federal jobs are good ones compared to some private sector jobs. They get retirement and social security?

Government workers serve the public and presently the public can be served by decreasing government cost and transferring tasks to the private sector that can be done by the private sector. Whatever Mr. Trump and DOGE accomplish the next administration will need to find new ways to accomplish public service through free enterprise.

Everyone wants to live in the rainforest yet being unemployed burns up savings quickly. Those that lost work should lose no time in pursuing educational and work opportunities elsewhere before they go broke. One can return to S.E. in the future. There are lots of good places to explore in the 48 states.

Will DOGE AI Reduce Government Cost?

 President Trump’s department of government efficiency is looking for ways to increase efficiency with AI. That may save on spending or give Skynet a boost toward the final solution. The pressing issue is will Elon Musk issue an opinion on Walmart’s left door entry; is that a woke policy to reverse common sense?

Electric cars can be made with lighter weight because they needn’t support a heavy fossil fuel engine. With solid state batteries built in the shape of a chassis very light electric engines will make cars low cost. Billions of poor people driving electric vehicles is a probable political economy of the future. Even boat and air cars powered with solid state batteries made in China may arise. The competition to dominate the global market for lightweight, ultra low cost electric vehicles may be fierce. Shoppers entering Walmart showrooms may have collisions with traffic volume and uncertainty about entry through the left or right side.


I would like an attachment for 12 volt batteries with an inverter to AC and USB ports for low cost. One can buy a complete unit and they work fin yet the battery can’t be replaced and tends to be small. A universal adjustable power accessibility attachment for $20 bucks would be an improvement.
