Once again, we see our government employing a type of socialism in how we do things. Salmon can be added to a bucket list for federal agencies failing totally by their own self-structuring rules on a far too powerful and rigid platform, in unattainable levels.
As I look deeper into the Endangered Species Act, it shows me a direction totally detrimental and not possible for salmon to live up to. We face a resource that has been downsizing for decades, peered by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with National Marine Fisheries Service. They are a different ESA to me — they are Executioners of Salmon Accepted. These are unapproachable people that we cannot communicate with for better ideas or tell them what they are doing is wrong.
What a painful sequence we are given to only follow such a losing effort right out of Washington, D.C. We are paying twice, once for continued fish losses and once for those in control being paid for those losses. People have to win before salmon can be helped. We and the salmon just have been improperly directed. We the people are forced but, like the salmon, we try to provide but we are led by a group that will not let us.
What a sad and pathetic course by such a dictatorial group, which makes me question our society description as democratic.
