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???
