Every time we complain about the pay walls and (demand that someone) paste the full article text then we’re making journalists beholden to people like Bezos. Wife and I used to subscribe to WaPo and NYT. Now it’s Wired and NYT.

No, you see, Trump expects Europe to pull their own weight now. So Belgium will do the invading and then hand Greenland to the USA.

Sure, all of that should have been done. I’m just commenting on

It’s in the wild populations so heavily now

It always was and it’s doing great damage to wild birds throughout the world. Regardless of US paultry farms. So you could have had healthier domestic birds, but there is nothing you could have done to avoid the virus being present in the environment.

It has been in wild birds world wide for years now. The birds having bird flu is not an American problem. The cows somehow all having bird flu is all yours though. Thankfully cows don’t fly and don’t migrate long distances.

Yeah, I looked it up to be sure. Not to be a dick.

And yeah, perhaps we should just condone condoning certain things and draw the line at encouraging or assisting?

That’s pretty much what condone means. From MW:

To overlook, forgive, or disregard (an offense) without protest or censure. synonym: forgive.

From Cambridge:

to ignore or accept behavior that some people consider wrong

So you’re perhaps not encouraging it?

I believe you dropped an important “not”

The distinction between “government regulation” on one hand and “community-devised rules, local monitoring and graduated sanctions for rule violations” on the other seems entirely artificial to me. In both cases rules and enforcement are set up to avoid the tragedy. The latter just uses more feel-good words to describe local government.

Or are FlyingSquid a collective consciousness wielding more limbs for typing than any singular human?
