Who needs common sense when you’ve got grant money to burn? That’s the lesson once again as Australia and Sweden combine forces – not to fight inflation, not to secure their borders, but to study what happens when you dump cocaine into a lake full of salmon. Taxpayer dollars at work, folks. Apparently, the world’s problems are solved, and now it’s time to get fish high.
Tell that to families struggling to keep up with soaring grocery bills, who might wonder why their governments are busy turning salmon into party animals. Scientific curiosity is one thing, but when so-called experts are wringing their hands over rivers full of drugs, maybe someone should be asking who let society go off the rails in the first place. Maybe the left is too busy chasing “environmental justice” to clamp down on the drugs flowing through cities and into our water.
So what did the scientists learn with all this taxpayer cash? This is where it gets so ridiculous it almost sounds made up: salmon who’ve been exposed to cocaine swim farther than those who haven’t. That’s right. Instead of fixing real problems, bureaucrats are clocking athletic fish on a cocaine buzz. Maybe next we’ll see studies on whether stoned shrimp do more backflips than sober ones. This is insanity disguised as progress.
And let’s not forget the globalist excuse trotted out for this waste: since cocaine’s showing up in waterways because so many people use it, scientists just *have* to know what it does to fish. Here’s a better idea—how about politicians actually address drug abuse instead of wasting more money panicking about what salmon do when exposed to the fallout from failed liberal policies? But no, it’s easier (and more lucrative, apparently) to write up research papers and ask the taxpayers to foot the bill.
This is modern “science” under out-of-touch elites, funded by people who just want safe streets and affordable groceries. In a world run by grown-ups, you fix the root cause of filthy rivers, not obsess over whether the wildlife are ready for the next rave. Maybe the real experiment is seeing how far common sense can swim before it drowns in bureaucracy and woke priorities. At this rate, is anyone surprised the fish are trying to escape?
