The much touted 'double-engine sarkaar' is quite a doubly-assured guarantee of bad governance. The two engines are devils in tandem driving fragile geographies/ecosystems to the brink of disaster, letting the third devil of climate change topple it all over and take the blame.

Loophole: all they have to do is catch (or say they caught) them in federal waters.

That’s right: Florida’s state government has stronger shark protections than NOAA Fisheries… by a lot. 🧵
