Literally has nothing to do with Trump or Trump voters.
While the USDA has long been prepared and will just repeat their actions of last time—which the article implies they’re already ready to do as it escalates—it’s more a concern of what happened to Central/South America, or the fly’s reproductive behaviours that has caused the safe zone to slowly get overrun these past few years.
If you really want to point this to Trump, I guess you’ll need to find some sort of link to something the US did that somehow caused Panama and then Mexico to get re-invaded, about 6-12 months before he was in office.
Edit: Imagine he catches wind of it though and decides to fuck it all by putting RFK Jr. in charge at the last minute…
The moron cut a critical organization when a major threat was known to be migrating north.
The agency needed a massive influx of resources for an expanded effort to control it this year.
No the root cause is not his fault, but his dumbass decisions the the fucking morons who voted for him are absolutely at fault for the shitty response.
That’s…not how the sterile tactic works. Anywhere in the world.
For starters, you think they’re just going to release everything in winter because last fall there were a couple of cases in proximity of the border? It’s insect ecology. Always wait for late-spring to summer before anything. Most generational breeding starts peak-summer period.
When we do this for mosquitos in SE Asia, African Lakes, South America, etc. you prepare, then go it at the right time.
“We had a case in Texas now! Unleash the horde!”
Aaaand you’re fucked.
Again, the main concern is about how infestation breached through north of South America and Central America to get to North America. There were proxy cases to the US border over the last six months which obviously meant it’d be in the US come warmer months—and that’s been factored for—but why did it get that far up the continent over the last two years?
These are things way outside of Trump’s wheelhouse and apparently Lemmy users that only come in here for US politics articles.
Hmmm… Guess what percentage of the owners who raise cattle voted for the orange moron?
98.5%, 99% or 99.5?
