“You’re about 100 years too late,” he said, “the question can’t be ‘can you save it?’ because you can’t, it’s already unsaved. The question is ‘can you save enough of it to make a difference in the long term?’”

No bug shortage here.

According to the MSM, too few bugs is a problem. Too many bugs is a problem. Everything is a problem. And whatever you, don’t just enjoy the Summer.

“Experts?” Don’t make me laugh. They know as much about everything as I do about, well, never mind.

Exactly lol. They want insects? I’ll stick them in the middle of the Florida swamp in the middle of this heatwave. They can research them all they want.
