Beginning in 2002 and forward, the emerald Ash Borer has destroyed every single ash tree here in S. E. Michigan. I remember back in 2006 when I used to commute to Troy for work, the boulevards were lined with young Ash trees that were all dead. The neighborhoods with old, mature ash trees, the owners had to cut them down..........it was disastrous.

Ban imports of food from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.
To: PGR88
A ban wouldn’t have to be permanent, just 10,000 years or so.
To: Tax-chick
Yep.
Most countries will not let you bring food into their country unless it is processed.
This is partly why.
