Josh Hausman, writing in The Atlantic magazine, has provided data to support an argument that I have long felt to be true: The workforce in the US has shrunk in response to Covid. Separate from the day-to-day toll of ongoing infections, COVID shrank the labor force, which was more than 2 million smaller in November […]

Wisconsin Republicans Introduce Bill Authorizing Sandhill Crane Hunt | Sierra Club (Me: Killing is what they do best and like to do… just because…)
In October, state senate Republicans introduced S.B. 620, which would require Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish a sandhill crane hunting season. If passed, the bill could spell disaster for the Eastern Population of greater sandhill cranes.
Sandhill cranes are an ancient species with fossil records dating back at least 2.5 million years. In the 18th and 19thcenturies, overhunting and habitat destruction nearly caused the Eastern Population to become extinct. In the 1930s, Wisconsin was down to an estimated 15 breeding pairs; the birds had already disappeared from five other states: Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Ohio, and Indiana. Through concerted conservation efforts, the population has slowly increased over the past 70 years. In 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that Eastern Population number at nearly 95,000, with nearly half the population in Wisconsin.
Proponents of the hunt claim that there are now too many birds and that the hunt should be part of an overall management strategy. Senator Mary Felzkowski, who sponsored S.B. 620, argues that because the Wisconsin sandhill crane population is no longer endangered, “it’s time now to manage that resource, just as we do with all our other waterfowl and birds.”
Another backer, Bruce Ross, the executive director of the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA), says his organization would like to see “an ethical and sustainable sandhill crane hunt in Wisconsin” that is “science-based.” But in crafting the bill, Republicans failed to consult expert groups such as the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission, or even the DNR. The International Crane Foundation (ICF), the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology (WSO), the Madison Audubon Society, and the Green-Rock Audubon Society have come out against the bill.

Jamaica: COVID-19 boosters offered for over-60s
I have been wondering about booster shots, in light of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Now, I realize that our entire family in the UK (aged over 18 years, that is) have already got theirs.
This just came in from the Ministry of Health and Wellness. So, off we go again it seems, to the vaccination centre!(We had two AstraZeneca jabs, but the single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccinated people should also go back for the booster).
