Endangered species? Shut down whatever the unions haven’t shut down in the port of LA.

Crazy seeing this article, as I was just doing some cursory internet research on these “bugs.” They’ve been showing up in my house - dead.
Turns out that they are crustaceans, and have internal gills that dry up when air moisture goes away. I had finally started using the AC, and sure enough, it dried out the air just enough.

Maybe we should look at the border areas, find some ‘endangered species’ and let the government and environmentalists fight it out...........

My mom directed a home health agency. And the nurses kept complaining that a bedridden patient was infected with Roly poly’s. They were finding them in every opening.
Eventually they hospitalized the woman and the doctors were laughing at the nurses stories. They stopped laughing when little roly polys were found crawing up the IV tubes.
They cut open the woman’s mattress at her house and it was full of roly polys.
They eventually got them out of the woman’s system.

Shut down the entire Port of Los Angeles, as well as all of Los Angeles County, while you're at it.
I don't suppose this could have anything to do with the port worker union issues that are going on in the Pacific Northwest.

Bunny huggers to petition gov. moonbeam to shut down the port of LA to save the roly poly’s in 3, 2, 1......

Clearly the bug is an endangered species. Shut down the Port of Los Angeles before they are all gone.

“Gross” doesn’t come close to describing that story.
Sickening, vomit-making, disgusting beyond belief, maybe.

Might be good to find the rarest species on the planet and import it to the southern border and then “discover” it!
