This week, the Biden Administration signed a historic agreement to guarantee one billion dollars over 10 years in an effort to save endangered salmon runs. Over the agreement’s 10-year time frame the Democrats are delivering 100 million dollars a year to their friends in the tribes and environmental nonprofits. Will all that 💰 actually help the salmon?
There is nothing wrong with the salmon runs, as far as I know. The problem is that the tribes use illegal gill nets to harvest the fish by the thousands, to sell them for profit. NOT to engage in traditional food gathering or hunting, but using modern technology to harvest and decimate the salmon.
It would be a lot cheaper to stop the tribes from this wanton practice and make them follow the same fishing regulations as the rest of us have to follow.
