      I’m going to guess it wasn’t a decision, so much as tech availability and pricing. radar, sonar, more powerful boats with bigger trawl nets.

      If they’d had that stuff earlier it’d be the same tragedy of the same commons.

        If we could’ve fucked things over a decade ago, we definitely would’ve!

        Somewhere there was an asshole who made a decision, one of our failures as a (global, makes it harder) society is failing to hold responsibility accountable. Do the crime, do the time.
