I’m right there with you as far as how our government is functioning on the whole, but everything I see indicates state and federal officials are taking this one seriously. Remember, this threatens the beef and dairy industries, which are not exactly politically passive

There was an outbreak in Florida in 2016, which was quickly contained. We know how to stop it. They used to be widespread across all of North America

But right after it mentions supply chain issues, it talks about unauthorized migration through the Darien Gap and the illegal cattle trade in Central America. Just saying, criticize where it’s due, and Trump’s due criticism for almost everything he’s done, but this problem is complex and exists independently of him and independently of the United States

I’m not saying they didn’t do damage, but did they cut funding for this? There doesn’t seem to be any evidence of that. There was an outbreak in Florida in 2016 before the 2022 outbreak

No concrete reason for the northward spread has been given, and Dr. Chancey said it is likely “multifactorial.” She noted that surveillance of NWS is limited in hard-to-reach areas across Central America, and livestock often are transported through unmonitored or insufficient checkpoints.

but that was cut as part of the “government efficiency” fiasco

I hate Elon, Trump, DOGE, and MAGA as much as the next comrade, but I have seen no evidence this is the case. Where did you get this from?

This article also makes this sound like a brand new endeavor, as if this hasn’t been an ongoing project for 70 years now

I’m increasingly convinced that this is yet another in a series of moves overtly intended to destroy the federal government’s legitimacy.

This has been the Republican game since Reagan

Many paper wasps have very painful stings. Red hornets and yellow jackets are just two species of paper wasps

They are! Those are all paper wasps, which feed on nectar in addition to other insects, like caterpillars.

Nope, there are thousands of native wasp species in North America. Most of them are small, have no stinger, and are vegetarian. You might glance at them and think they’re flies. There are tens of thousands of plant species that rely on them for pollination.

Honey bees, on the other hand, are actually invasive in North America after they were imported from Europe.

It should be noted that most wasps are vital pollinators

That’s going to be a lot more than 65 million people

It made sense in its time. I think even Michelle Obama has disavowed it at this point

I think you misunderstood that guy
