In fairness they've been spreading Northward yearly for several years, we knew they were coming and eradication efforts have been underway for a while to try to blunt it. But, with the idiots currently in charge, just assume those efforts have been botched until proven otherwise.
the eradication program ended in 22-23, they were making headway ever since. likely it wouldve been restored under harris, A GOP wh will never restore something like this. they always end using budget cuts to fund TAX CUTS.
At no point did the eradication program end. In 23-24 Biden's USDA quadrupled funding to the Panama facility producing sterile flies. The facility had been underfunded for years (/wave Trump1) and at some point during Covid lost contain of the Darian Gap, officially reaching "we fucked up" thresholds in 2022.
It's the now classic answer to "Why is this happening now?" Trump fucked it up, Biden tried to fix it without any sense of urgency because he just assumed he'd get eight years, and then Trump came back and fucked it up again.
