Listen if we are going to do this then we need to do it right and subsidize the fisheries. We really don't need fuckin shell fish but we cannot let whole industries and towns die because of it. Set a transition period and pay every fisherman the average of their last 3 seasons.

Your assumptions about lobstermen are not rooted in reality. The lobster fishery in Maine has been so sustainable because the lobstermen don't fight for more effective traps or other more lenient laws, knowing that those things will eventually kill their livelihood. These are people whose parents lived through the collapse of the cod fishery, and have no interest in seeing the same thing happen to lobster.

Sure, they might think Antifa did J6. That doesn't mean they are irresponsible with the lobster fishery.
