I completely disagree but if the current regime lasts it’s inevitable. The burgeoning federal debt will be used politically (not operationally!) to force selling federally assets especially land and leases to the politically well connected.

Bush II actually did a lot of that already. Much of the fee yielding aspects of the big parks have already been sold/leased. I'm not sure any of the lodges or concessions are still run by the park service, and at the larger parks the campgrounds/etc are also run by various private companies taking their slice.

Even the reservation system as we were recently discussing now has a corp entity eating the majority of the "profit".

And the NPS tries to put a positive spin on the whole thing, cause we all know big corps are more efficient (/snark) https://www.nps.gov/orgs/csp/index.htm
