    DDon’t worry those pesticides are totally safe. Don’t look at all the dead birds and bees. Those are all fake news from the woke left. /s

    I was an adventure kid, exploring nature every day on summer break. We’d go out all day, just to see what cool bugs or animals we could find. I can definitely attest that there are far fewer birds AND bugs then when I was a kid.

    For instance, it’s been years since I’ve seen a firefly, then I visited NYC last year, and they were all over the place. They have fireflies in NYC because nobody is spraying pesticides all over the city.
