Maybe just...

More seriously: nothing, because the Gulf of Mexico has seen more than enough pollution.

Bodies good for feeding the creatures there

How about water purification tablets? That would clean the water wouldn't it? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Anyone who voted yes on the bill.

This is the kind of [ Removed by Reddit ] content I'm here for

It doesn't have to be the whole billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Chunks of billionaire approximately 1 inch across are the best for local fauna to digest effectively.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some would call them "billioun cubes"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

"Billionaire chum" was right there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Save the heads! We can mount them on pikes as a deterrent.

Maybe build a wall ….

Please refrain from throwing trash in the ocean, its bad enough as it is

Those that voted for those that voted for it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Nah. I'm pissed at the Trumpets too, but voting ain't worth shit.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Social contract. I leave people alone until they mess with me. They messed with me and won't leave me or anyone else alone.

Be ruthless to the architects of oppressive and exploitative systems.

That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don't know of many, if any, politicians who voted "No!" when the time came. So unless I'm mistaken and some did, you'd be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we'd just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

Every Republican.

the hardest thing about being a socialist is spelling bourgeois

Honestly fuck the fr*nch for that one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

it's always the fr*nch

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -

Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.

If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.

They don't have to be corpses.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But then you'll need to weigh them down. Pre-corpsed Republicans is cheaper than chains and weights, but I have to admit that the other method may be more satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not if you’re out far enough.

Republicans, obviously. Viva Le Gulf Of Mexico.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

Capitalists and the rulers who do their bidding

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Why would I pollute the guild of Mexico?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Thw white house?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I agree with others stating that the bodies of those supporting it work for me.

So jealous of my UK brethren who can ask this question

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The UK passed a bill on the same day cutting literally half the support money disabled people rely on and plunging 150’000 into poverty. So people across the pond may be focused on that.

Oh and the fact you can get 14 years in prison and be labelled a terrorist for saying you support a peaceful charity against Israeli genocide.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I am an uneducated American, thank you for sharing this. Really repugnant. This cancer is global and growing.
