***‼️*** Only like this if you care and agree with what im saying. Performative empathy is not welcome here. You can like or voice your impotent opinion with the more popular accounts. And shame on you, if popularity or likes is what you actually only care about.

Did you take a trip to Louisiana recently to to get in on that bull red punkin patch craziness, but only ended up going home with nothing, slot reds, or at best one or two bulls?
Here's the thing: it wasn't because you chose the wrong guide, dates, or you suck. Actually, that last part is kinda true sometimes.
The reason why your louisiana bullfest trip was disappointing is because the capitalist petroleum and commercial menhaden industries, along with the help of greedy politicians, have all but destroyed the marsh and fishery.
The politicians are more interested in lining their own pockets than DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Stand up with me and let's god damn do something before it's too late! If we stand by and do nothing, they will take everything from us. Everything you've ever cared about or will care about will be labeled, auctioned, and sold.
Stand up with me now and let's god damn do something before it's too late! If we stand by and do nothing, they will take everything from us. Everything you've ever cared about or will care about!

So If you do care about Louisiana fishery or your own fishery (yes, every fishery in this nation and beyond is in some sort of trouble for largely the same reasons), and choose to stand by and do nothing, well... you are, in fact, part of the problem.
The government should be afraid of the people, not the other way around. The time has come today, people. Its time to rise up!
