A federal plan to slow down boats to prevent collisions with endangered North Atlantic right whales recently hit the brakes.

    Political polarisation is when you know the new boss wants the whales to die, even though nobody ever asked him.

    I choose to read that headline as “woe upon us; whales may now swim at an unlimited speed”. Funny to imagine.

    NOAA stopped the ferry service between small Hawaiian islands, so that the those that were unable to afford a plane ticket would be stuck to one island at a time. Many on The Big island were I lived local, flip flops and community dwellings, the hit for inner island transit had taken a hard tole, with many long time locals were leaving.

    The reasoning… boats were messing with Whales. I think the Whales have a mind of their own.
