Time for a class action suit against the federal government. Would that work ???


Senior Citizens Trapped In Yellowstone Due To Shutdown
The Yellowstone, which is among the world’s greatest natural attractions, has suffered a lot from the government shutdown. Since it has always been the government’s responsibility to protect it and enable all people to experience and enjoy the marvels of this park, recently, the government has ended up abusing its constitutional authority by trying to control it.
According to the National Park Service, due to the government shutdown, the tourists weren’t allowed to recreate in any way. The rangers are further said to have showed signs of aggressiveness towards the group. Two days later, they let the senior citizens out of the inn to the Yellowstone but still, refused them the right to use the bathrooms within the park.
The unjust treatment has triggered lots of discussions and criticism to both the government and the NPS mainly because, the maltreatment experienced by the senior citizens leaves many wondering whether the government shutdown brought to an end the belief that national parks belong to the people.
