Trump's Mao momment.
In March of 2025, Trump signed an executive order to cut funding for the "fly wall".
Since 1966, America has eradicated the screwworm not only from its territory but also from all of Central America, and over all this time, it spent about 15M (in modern-day currency) to produce and release millions of male screwworm flies that had been sterilised (the female fly only mates once in its entire life, and they learnt that exposing the males to radiation for a short burst completely sterilises them).
But Trump did not want to pay for "Mexican countries", so he used DOGE to cut the funding, and in a single fucking year... IN A SINGLE FUCKING YEAR, he brought back to America a health issue that used to cost around 2B for cattle farmers (not to mention this pest attacks all warm-blooded animals, including dogs and people).
His solution? Spend almost a billion US dollars in a factory for those same flies in Texas for the US border that is several times longer than the strait in Guatemala.

Let that sink in. He saved 15M, about the same he spent on painting a fucking pool. And now they had to put almost a billion upfront (this is only for the construction) from taxpayer money to recreate what they had done in 1966.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP.

The thing is, none of this matters because the magnetic poles are going to flip in the next 10-40 years and when that happens, all the elites are going to go to their underground bunkers to ride it out and when they come out again, they'll be the only ones with technology, so they'll use that to re-establish "continuity of government," A.K.A. they'll make themselves God-Kings over the rubble and wreckage of the new Earth.

They're not worried about anything, they're literally just sitting around bored waiting for the signal to evacuate and then they'll quietly disappear and we won't see them again for a year or so.

And when we do see them again, we'll be a bunch of starving, half-mad survivors living like our caveman ancestors only without the know-how, and they'll be flying around in Ironman suits, laughing maniacally and commanding us to kneel down before them.

You might not believe in this, but they do. That's the only future they're getting ready for. They don't give a fuck about worms or flies or beef or money anymore. All that's going bye-bye.

Fake news.

The Darien Gap fly barrier was breached by the screw worm in 2022. Likely due to illegal immigration and illegally sold cattle.

The fly barrier only worked if there were no screw worms North of the Darien Gap. As soon as screw worms were detected in Mexico, the fly barrier didn't make sense anymore.

The fly barrier at the Darien Gap can be set up again if the Screw Worm can be eradicated back down to the gap. You have to start the barrier at the zone of infection, then work your way down.

The fly barrier also included the monitoring services. It was not the first time it was breached; it happened every 4 years, but when farmers reported it, they just dumped a few hundred thousand sterilised male flies and eradicated it again.
In 2024, there was only one case in Mexico...

>>536617586
well here's a counterpoint, the cattle/beef industry makes billions of dollars in profit a year. they could easily fund the fly producing facilities. in fact the cost is something like a quarter of a million dollars a year, that's it. why should the government fund something that big business benefits from and could easily pay for themselves? Oh that's right they won't pay for it until it becomes a problem at which point they'll whine to government to refund it or they'll simply do it themselves like they should have been doing all along. now that being said I fully believe the U.S. gov should be funding this program not only here but through the entirety of south america to wipe this shit out as the cost is fucking so minimal it's a rounding error for the government. but if they won't the businesses most affected should do so

Covid allowed some growback, but America was completely free from it until Trump cut the funding. The Mexican buffer was never completely penetrated.
