everyone in the world has been doing it since the 70s or so...
YES hemerHOID! You are quite right for once!
Deficit financing has been a western govt OBSESSION for many decades!
Which is why LIE-berals - who have BENEFITED MOST by all the debt - are IN SUCH A TIZZY NOW!
AS ALL LIE-beral policy FAILS and withers away in that OCEAN OF RED INK!
You flogged that LIE-beral political dead horse so hard that the legs fell off it!
Just consider the latest invasive species / environmental problem that LIE-berals are TOO BROKE to deal with:::
Oh my - LIE-berals must be really feeling the heat over their unhealthy love affair with China! The same batch of experts who were asleep at the switch when Zebra Mussels invaded Canada and the same people who were asleep when Emerald Ash Borer invaded Canada are now telling us that so called “Murder Hornets” from Asia do not represent a threat to us!
(With some comments of my own in brackets):
How experts are working to get rid of 'murder hornets'
By Sam Juric, from CBC News, Published May 11, 2020
An Asian giant hornet or Vespa mandarinia, with prominent jagged mandibles for decapitating insects and bees. In recent days, so-called murder hornets have been making headlines across North America and getting quite the rap to boot.
"They're these really large hornets, they're fairly big. And the reason they're called murder hornets is because in the fall they go after honey bees," said Christine Noronha, an entomologist with Agriculture Canada in P.E.I.
(Murder Hornets grow to several inches long and as the Cdn Pest Control guy who was called to destroy a Murder Hornet nest in B.C. can attest - they are strong enough to sting through a standard Bee Keepers suit - backed up with extra Kevlar! The stingers are long enough and strong enough to slip through the protective weave of the material to the underlying flesh!)
(Further there is some evidence that Murder Hornets will sometimes construct nests under ground thus one may step on an entrance and prompt an attack from the VERY VENOMOUS insects!)
She also noted that while you may be hearing the species affectionately referred to as murder hornets, experts know them as Asian giant hornets or Vespa mandarinia.
(The name is irrelevant! The fact is these insects represent a MAJOR NEW THREAT to Bee Colonies that WE RELY ON to pollinate our crops!)
In an interview with Island Morning host Mitch Cormier on Monday, Noronha didn't try to assuage some of the current buzz surrounding the species' size.
"A queen can be over two inches, so that's fairly big for a queen but a worker can also be 1.8 inches," she said.
'That could be a problem'
Washington State Department of Agriculture entomologist Chris Looney displays a dead Asian giant hornet, bottom, a sample sent from Japan and brought in for research, next to a native bald-faced hornet collected in a trap on May 7, 2020, in Blaine, Washington.
The new Asian hornets that have been found in Washington state may be murder on already stressed-out honeybees, but for humans its like a repeat of the sensationalized scare that turned Africanized killer honeybees of the 1970s: a real and nasty bug hyped into a horror movie motif that didnt quite fulfill its scary billing. Numerous bee and insect experts tell people to calm down about the so-called murder hornets, unless you are a beekeeper.
(LIE-berals DO NOT mention that there was also at least ONE NEST found in B.C. as well as the one in Washington! Exactly how big a threat these new Hornets are is NOT KNOWN! What we do know is that they are SO BIG that their nests can even be hunted using heat seeking technology since the nest interior is often at 86 degrees Fahrenheit and so they stand out from surrounding terrain!)
(The same people who previously assured us that Emerald Ash Borers from China could NOT get over the exclusion zone Cdn govt created along the St. Clair River and Lake Huron in Ontari-owe - and got sneered at by Yankee experts because the Cdn exclusion zone was DEEMED NOT NEARLY WIDE ENOUGH - with Yankees quickly being PROVEN RIGHT - are now telling us they have Murder Hornets under control and we should not worry!)
The new Asian hornets that have been found in Washington state may be murder on already stressed-out honeybees, but for humans its like a repeat of the sensationalized scare that turned Africanized killer honeybees of the 1970s: a real and nasty bug hyped into a horror movie motif that didnt quite fulfill its scary billing. Numerous bee and insect experts tell people to calm down about the so-called murder hornets, unless you are a beekeeper.
(And yet Yankee govt HAS PAID OUT A LOT OF CASH to control Africanized Honey Bees - while the public learns to avoid places where such Bees may nest!)
"The species poses a high risk to insects, especially honey bees," Noronha said, "They're so much larger than the honey bees so that they can easily go and attack them and they have this huge source of protein because there are so many honey bees in a colony."
(And thus a species that threatens Honey Bees is also a significant THREAT to our food supply - with LIE-berals trying to calm the public in the same idiot way they assured us in January 2020 that they could CONTROL Wuhan Virus! LIE-berals are more concerned with alleged Racism than public safety!)
The hornet is huge, about five centimetres in length, and known for how quickly and viciously it can decimate entire bee colonies. It's said this species can kill anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 bees in a matter of hours.
"If they do get established, that could be a problem." However, Noronha said the species doesn't pose a huge threat in North America at the moment.
(NO threat right now - but what about in 3-5 years after they get nicely settled in?)
A nest was found and destroyed in British Columbia last year, and more recently hornets were spotted in Washington state, sparking a flurry of panicked headlines about the invasive species.
"They found a colony and they're trying to eradicate it. So right now, they're trying to make sure that they can get rid of it," she said, "It' hasn't established yet so it's not a big problem right now."
(Oh- TRYING TO ERADICATE the colony? Does that suggest that extermination efforts are NOT SUCCEEDING? We DO KNOW the creatures CAN HANDLE Cdn winters as they do nicely in northern Japan in mountainous snowy areas!)
The species, native to Asia, has been keeping experts across North America busy working to eradicate it.
In the fall, Noronha said the queens leave the nest to mate, afterwards they burrow into the soil and spend the winter months there. In the spring, queens begin their search for a new nest.
"What they're trying to do this year, is put out the traps to catch those females."
For now, Noronha said unless you're a honey bee, you shouldn't be too concerned.
"They don't really go after humans or pets unless they're disturbed or threatened but if they do sting you ... their sting can be quite painful," she said.
"They can sting many times. They pack a good amount of venom in their sting. And they sting repeatedly."
(So if by accident YOU DO bump into a nest site - the only hope is to run like hell and pray you aint to far from aid and a source of anti venom!)
Experts who are working to get rid of the nasty species in British Columbia, she said will likely get a better sense of whether their efforts have paid off sometime this year.
(Oh -even “experts” agree the new species is NASTY!)
As there have been so few nests found, so far — on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo and Washington state — all efforts will be focussed on those areas and making sure no more queens are produced, she said.
(Oh - isnt that nice- there were ACTUALLY SEVERAL nest sites found in B.C. - NOT just a single one as previously mentioned! But that IS the LIE-beral habit - roll out the bad news in a slow dribble so people will not get fully informed or to much alarmed!)
