Louisiana governor issues disaster declaration for crawfish shortage | CNN
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry issued a disaster declaration Wednesday for the state’s critical crawfish industry, as extreme weather disrupted this year’s harvest and triggered an industry-wide shortage of the crustaceans.
I live in LA and this seems wild. Isn't the free market supposed to handle this? If you didn't save enough money to handle a year of low crick bugs then shouldn't you fail and daddy capitalism will let someone else take its place?
/s of course.
This is why UBI might be a good idea, at least the workers and even C levels could still pay rent and not have to give unchecked funds to industry.
The Louisiana state government shouldn't get one cent out of the federal government before they drop their stupid and evil lawsuit against the EPA, and they probably shouldn't after they do that either. Find a way to get needed aid to the residents directly without involving the state.
The Louisiana state government shouldn't get a penny of federal money period. Corruption is the state past time.
So they suing the EPA because they want pollute more yet freaking out because they are killing off all the crayfish due to the pollution? I swear we are living in some fuck up dark comedy that isn't funny.
Have they tried outlawing birth control for crawfish
no joke, many fresh and brackish water species can be impacted by runoff of human pharmaceuticals.
For example there's a creek that runs right through Colorado university boulder and they've done studies which find hormonal impacts resulting in drifted genders in subsequent generations of fish.
Who knew that piss poor environmental regulation would lead to environmental concerns and issues.
Why didn't someone warn us!
I have too much of those assholes in the pond I manage here in europe… you have those back…
