    I live in LA and this seems wild. Isn’t the free market supposed to handle this? If you didn’t save enough money to handle a year of low crick bugs then shouldn’t you fail and daddy capitalism will let someone else take its place?

    /s of course.

    This is why UBI might be a good idea, at least the workers and even C levels could still pay rent and not have to give unchecked funds to industry.

      no joke, many fresh and brackish water species can be impacted by runoff of human pharmaceuticals.

      For example there’s a creek that runs right through Colorado university boulder and they’ve done studies which find hormonal impacts resulting in drifted genders in subsequent generations of fish.
