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.

Yeah, they're firing everybody who was hired in the last two years, no matter what they work on. That includes people who do stuff like nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship — Musk denied a national security exemption for them.
Hey at least that means the nukes might not work?
also, if all the national parks burn, no more need for a park service at all, or a fish and wildlife agency. #winning.
No, it means someone might walk away with some nukes.
I'd bet real money that Israel is the place we'll see nukes going off.
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.
That is nightmarish.

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.
