   Hmmmm.. I wonder what else was heading north in 2022?

   “The sterile flies proceeded to, well, screw the continent’s wild populations into oblivion, and in 2006, an invisible barrier was established at the Darién Gap, the jungle that straddles the Panama-Colombia border, to cordon the screwworm-free north off from the south. The barrier, as I observed when I reported from Panama several years ago, consisted of planes releasing millions of sterile screwworms to rain down over the Darién Gap every week. This never-ending battle kept the threat of screwworms far from America.
   But in 2022, the barrier was breached. Cases in Panama—mostly in cattle—skyrocketed from dozens a year to 1,000, despite ongoing drops of sterile flies. The parasite then began moving northward, at first slowly and then rapidly by 2024, which is when I began getting alarmed emails from those following the situation in Central America. As of this month, the parasite has advanced 1,600 miles through eight countries to reach Oaxaca and Veracruz in Mexico, with 700 miles left to go until the Texas border. The U.S. subsequently suspended live-cattle imports from Mexico.”

     Methinks someone began cutting corners in the irradiation process and pocketed the money. Another gift from th Biden Administration?

     As Thomas Sowell pointed out- It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

     I think elected officials should have some skin in the game. Maybe they should have to surrender all their assets into the budgets they are charged with maintaining. And if inflation when they leave office has risen 15%, they take a 15% hair cut like the rest of us? Or if the economy crashes and the market looses 40% of it’s value, so do they?

       For local politicians, I would like to see their salaries cut by the same percentage they raise the local budget.
