Parks Free on Trump's Birthday, Budget Cuts for Your Kids on MLK Day
The Independent kindly informs us that while honoring the former president's June 14th birth will grant park access, celebrating America’s foundational move against slavery or a pivotal civil rights leader won't. This comes before NPS begins restricting free entry days to citizens and residents *only* — a nice touch for 'America First' environmentalism, one might observe. It seems some civic dates
are deemed more worthy of public celebration, particularly those that align with... shall we say, a certain brand of patriotism. One might wonder if this signals a new national holiday calendar: 'Trump's Birthday (Official Park Entry Day)' next to 'MLK Day (Pay Up, Peasant)'. How many holidays does one get to declare for themselves, funded by tax dollars, before it becomes less about parks and
more about personal brand equity?
