Predators

Learned something interesting and hopeful today via Youtube. The Burmese pythons destroying the Everglades ecosystem have some natural predators after all. Turn out that river otters, coyotes, and bobcats have learned to hunt and kill the pythons, en masse. They not only kill the adults, but go after the massive egg deposits in nests. That’s very hopeful, as for decades the python population has grown unabated. Looks like nature is working toward rebalancing, as it does. I wish the same rebalancing would happen in US politics. We’re currently overrun by the predator species Magat Ignoramus, a particularly vile life form.

For example, here’s the Magat stupid headline of the day: Pete Hegseth scraps mandatory flu shots for U.S. service members. I mean, why not? Getting the flu will just make those enlisted folks tougher. I’m sure skipping the measles vaccine is next. We won’t need weapons, we’ll just invade a country and infect them all. Brilliant!
