And if no one visits, they can justify selling the land, leasing the oil and mineral rights, or handing over ‘management’ to some random company that’ll run it like any public good that has been entrusted to capitalism.

And since no one is visiting they will give someone the land rights for $10 to clear cut all those forests in the next 10 years

The National Park Service is a different department. The Forest Service is part of the agriculture department, it's about managing forests as exploitable natural resources.

So that's good news, in the bleakest way, I guess.
