Comment | I grew up in San Diego. My first trip on a whale watching trip was back in the 70's. I had several neighbors who's father's worked in the boats, be they Tuna boats or the family 1/2 day 3/4 day boats... They were always able to support their family and even grow their families. Alot of these families passed down or grew their business' extremely well. During my teens I learned what it took to run a business as these. I had a large part on several of the boats starting with the half & three quarter day boats and growing into the longer 3-10 day boats. When my best friend mentioned that their family business is going to come to an end of the policy of yours passes, I had to get involved. There are much better solutions than telling these families that they are no longer are going to be able to keep their lively hoods going because they have some older boats. Back a few years you went after the trucking industry. A company by the name of Airgas came up with an additive for the diesel petrol that they were using. I know for a fact that they still have several 100,000 or more trucks that are still driving around the country. Why can't you apply that type of technology instead of ending so many small businesses and family business in the boating and fishing industry??? It's it all just a power grab??? Or has your board become Woke and are bowing at the climate change gods and goddesses??? |
