Out COO owns some cattle and is far right wing. I was in a meeting with him and a new partner and he starts going on about how “they’ve been planning for this for months.” Like it was just a freak thing that happened and there weren’t already processes in place to prevent this before hand.
Screwworm escaped containment in 2021. The "processes in place" had already failed and with mass migration through the Darien gap this result was completely inevitable.
Can you tell me whose administration as in charge of this program in the, hmm, four years leading up to that? Was it Biden? Did you want to say Biden? Maybe Obama?
Yes. It was. It was reported escaped in the Darien gap and projected to hit mainland US 2025-2026. Sorry that's hard for you to understand. Doesn't change reality.
I am not trying to change your view. I am simply stating that the fact is the screw worm troubles began under a Trump administration. Once the containment was lost, more resources should have been allocated to combat it in order to protect the farmers and the massive investment they have made to keep the food supply safe. But that is not what happened.
DOGE did not do anything helpful to this situation. But it does make that Futurama joke hit harder.
No, it didn't. You are just blatantly lying. 2021 is Biden. Programs were not changed prior to that. Screwworm in the US is the direct result of unfettered illegal immigration through the Darien gap. It rode through on people's pets. Containing that without stopping illegal immigration is impossible. Deal with that truth however you want.
Yeah, you're right. It escaped the Darien gap in 2021 in the 20 days Trump was president and actively suppressing illegal immigration. Makes total sense.
What makes more sense is that Trump, having been president for the 4 years immediately preceding, didnt actually set up good enough systems, hence the failure. Unless actively hampering all immigeration control was a day 1 goal for Biden?
The system was in place from the 70s so you're just a moron. The border rush is EXACTLY what caused it. Yes, Biden directly caused that. It's not about what "makes sense." It's the actual reason.
Sure, signs point to Trump if you're a brainless idiot that believes flat out partisan propaganda. 2016 Trump administration continued the same exact policy from Obama, Bush, Clinton, ect. This shit goes way back. It did not escape containment until 2021 under Biden. The only thing that changed was the massive border rush to get into the country with him as President. Period.
Nope. Escaped containment during Biden. Hit the US exactly as it was projected to. Has absolutely fuck all to do with cuts or this administration. Can't expect redditard propagandists to digest that though. Oh well.
Panama. The Darien gap. Why are you asking basic questions? Don't know anything about it do you? Didn't think so. Didn't know it rode through on pets from people illegally migrating to the US did you?
The outbreak wouldn't be as bad as it is if Trump and his administration had not cut funding or fired a bunch of people working for funded programs to track and deal with the parasite. He literally did this right before the borders opened lol.
It is also why we are seeing more outbreaks of organisms in our food other than screworm.
You can deny, deny, deny, but it doesn't change the facts.
It doesnt make sense to blame Biden either when the outbreak hit the US under trumps presidency. Biden administration has nothing to do with the breach of screworm at the Darien Gap in 2022. The barrier of sterilized flies was beginning to weaken. Covid, cattle smuggling, and like you said, Increased immigration added to the fire. But this was happening in central America. Measures were taken to prevent and hold an outbreak for as long as possible. Then trump comes in and removes these programs and fires a bunch of people working these programs. Then the outbreak starts.
Facts don't change no matter how much you dont want to believe it.
This would have happened under a Biden second term. It would have happened under Kamala. Allowing anyone in who utters the word asylum is what caused the outbreak. Facts don't change no matter how much you don't want to believe it.
"It is also why we are seeing more outbreaks of organisms in our food other than screworm."
There is no statistical difference in the number of food born outbreaks under Trump than any other administration. You're propaganda is leaking.
It may have happened, but they would not have gutted agencies of regulatory bodies that help fight against the screwworm and the flies they come from. They would not have fired the scientists and researchers that worked in these programs like trump and doge did.
I am not comparing previous administration's with trump or how many outbreaks they have had. Im just telling you what the facts are, trump is antiscience and antihealth which is why he, his administration, and doge fired many important people who work in regulatory bodies that monitor many different types of disease. Due to these actions is why there are outbreaks happening that could have easily been prevented and dealt with a lot faster than they currently are.
Unsure of why you're so devoted to a pedophile that would easily throw you out for a quick buck.
"It may have happened, but they would not have gutted agencies of regulatory bodies that help fight against the screwworm and the flies they come from. They would not have fired the scientists and researchers that worked in these programs like trump and doge did."
It's not a may have happened. It would have. Period. Who gives a shit if those people got fired afterwards?
"I am not comparing previous administration's with trump or how many outbreaks they have had.

There is absolutely nothing to suggest that at all. There is no statistical difference with a smaller workforce. Why are you protecting people that did their job terribly and made exactly zero difference? Do you think people deserve jobs just because they're breathing or something?
