Guys, we knew screw worm was headed north. We knew it would get here, absent profound mitigation efforts. We CHOSE to not help Mexico control it. We CHOSE to not prepare. We could have been producing and releasing millions of sterile flies daily, at a cost much less than the collapse of the Texas beef industry, but again, we CHOSE to focus on racist nazi nonsense instead. Trump, Abbot, and their goons own this, full stop. (Also, fuck the guys who voted for their own demiseā¦)
@mcnado Americans have been warned for years... decades... about industrial beef production being unsustainable. Even without the screw worm the beef industry was going to crash and burn; the industrial inputs are too great.
Texas got the results they voted for.
