Live in one of those “rural suburbs” (line of houses surrounded by fields) in Louisiana.
Was smokin a bowl outside last night. Saw the mosquito truck come down the road, spraying a fog of insecticides to keep the population down and all I can think is “if we didn’t flatten everything for miles around with empty lawns and mono crops, we’d still have enough dragonflies to eat the mosquitoes instead of spraying chemicals into our air that kill the dragonflies too”
Yea, that’s what we call it around here. Just a regular truck with an IBC of insecticides and a low-pressure sprayer that drives around once a week to kill the swarms of mosquitoes along with every other insect in the area.

Lmao. No if they didnt flatten and drain it all you wouldnt be living there.
You do understand that people lived on the land that is this state well before settlers destroyed it, right?
Heck, before colonizers, the natives called my area “place where the edible fern grows”, but now there are no ferns :(
