From Karl Denninger at Market Ticker
"I have written several times over the years about our insane
policies with regard to so-called "pollution", which utterly ignore and
in fact propagate some of the worst pollution of our water supplies ever invented.
I am specifically referring to farming interests using fertilizers and not being held responsible for that which escapes their lands and winds up in public waterways. This is responsible for the Gulf of Mexico "dead
zone", as algae blooms are "fed" by said fertilizers and then die off,
with their decay creating a hypoxic condition in the water column that
essentially prohibits animal life (think FISH folks!) in that region."
