Why does Mt. St. Helen's even have a live cam? It's a mountain - it just sits there. Other than that one time, it doesn't do anything.
It has erupted a few times in the last few years.
I just received this notice since I live near the trail:
“The government shutdown has limited access and use of Appalachian Trail by hikers and volunteers. “
Maybe the blazes and switchbacks have been turned off.
Well, yea, but, it could do something! And if watching it via live cam 24/7 can save the life of just one little child, or starving mom, or downtrodden illegal immigrant, or someone else, then surely the money is well spent!
It is my understanding that one of the SOROSian democrat senators will be submitting a bill in the next session to increase the number of live cams watching the mountain.
The bill will also fund the building of a centralized "Mt. St. Helens Live Cam Monitoring Headquarters" in His/Her home state.
The headquarters will also be funded for 1000 AR-15s and 5 million rounds of ammunition, just in case some taxpaying terrorist decides to protest this critical government expenditure.
