Anytime the Trump Administration does ANYTHING, the Press must go into full hair on fire running in circles and shrieking at the sky mode. Trump has made many cuts to the federal work force. Some of those people happened to work at America's National Parks. Most of them did things like open restrooms. These are not difficult jobs. This, of course, is not how the Press reported it.
It’s been 48 hours, and not enough has been made of the fact that the media, with a straight face, claims that unlocking a restroom in the federal bureaucracy requires institutional knowledge. pic.twitter.com/pEZvoFY41O

Other chapters include, what to do if you accidentally misgender a bear. Which is the environmentally correct way to hang the…
Heaven forbid someone is misgendered.
Once the issue of the Keeper of the Keys who has institutional knowledge is resolved, the media will start another attack that the Keeper of the Keys is required to have institutional knowledge under the Trump administration.

It's so stupid it is hard to believe.
One person held all the keys and didn't return them when they left? No functioning business on earth could operate like this. Only government entities that are supported by endless tax dollars can get away with this level of incompetence.🤦♂️

It's embarrassing how inefficient the government really is.
My question is how did visitors get locked into a restroom? If they said locked out, then maybe. And what happened to the regular set of keys they must have used every day before this? And finally, do they want us to believe that every restroom lock in the park used a…

Maybe they should switch to a keypad with a code park employees would memorize to open the door. Work smarter, not harder.

We'll maybe decide to rebuild some parts of it later.

This is the only way.
