Trump firings hit NOAA scientists, analysts on South Coast
Federal cuts ordered by the Trump administration reached Massachusetts in late February, when the NOAA Fisheries’ workforce from Maine to North Carolina was slashed. Hundreds more cuts may happen this week, when department heads must meet a deadline to submit proposals for “large-scale” reductions in force at their respective agencies to not only terminate people but eliminate their positions altogether. This means more scientists and analysts who protect and manage the country’s commercial fisheries may soon lose their jobs. Their terminations have raised concerns about the future of the fishing industry, the science that underlies its management, and the people who rely on it for work and for food. “How many fishermen are left, and how many regulators and scientists are left to manage us? Try to get that number,” Tony Alvernaz said, suggesting there are too many regulators for what he sees as a struggling and overregulated industry. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:50
Our nation’s debt service is now one trillion dollars per year. This is not sustainable no matter how you slice it. If something isn’t done now this nation will be doomed.
We pay now or suffer the consequences.
NOAA allowed all the whales to die
Fishermen are supposed to feel sorry that the bureaucrats that have been putting them out of business since 1976, are rightfully losing their jobs. Good riddance, maybe if they did their jobs instead of watching as another branch of government [BOEM] stole their supposed protections for endangered species, someone might have sympathy. They didn’t and that proved their uselessness. Get a real job.
