'So, Representative Gabbard, what are your two key policy positions?' 'First, no more regime-change wars. Too many American lives & dollars wasted.' 'Great! People can get behind that.' 'Second, more bugs. We need A LOT MORE BUGS'.https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1095456975545081857 …
PS I think she's right on both points. Just can't envision activists getting behind the bug thing...
This, but unironically.
Didn't the bee thing end up being wildly overblown and the result of other insects, not pesticides? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-01/good-news-for-bees-as-numbers-recover-while-mystery-malady-wanes …
Well, what about no more seed oil since those monocrops need to be threated with insecticide during floration efectively killing the plague, and every other insect around. Not to talk about how harmful seed oil is to us too. @Mangan150
More bugs 2020 is a interesting slogan
She's just wrong about the solution and "small farmers". There are many possible solutions, but "small farmers" is not one of them.
Small farmers, and organic farmers, are often just as reliant on pesticides as big ag, and very often are even moreso. Making produce a lot more expensive is not a good solution.
Why not? And why make fun of her for raising an important issue?
If anyone has thoughtful science writing on the bee situation, I'd like to see it (seriously). Unless I missed it, her two "explanations" were never proven be the cause of the bee die off.
I honestly can't think of a more engaging platform.
