Remember the movies Jaws 1 and Jaws 2 made back in the eighties about the monstrous giant shark that terrorizes the small beachfront town of Amity, USA? Do you recall in Jaws 1 when the sheriff, Roy Schneider, discovered evidence that the shark had killed a child which was verified by the imported shark expert and they confronted the mayor? The mayor, Larry, dressed in a buffoonish sports jacket and totally lacking in humanity and intellect quickly denied/dismissed the evidence; because after all it was Fourth of July weekend and the city not could risk a shark scare thereby depriving local businesses of revenue.
Then in Jaws 2 the mighty shark's cousin returns to Amity to avenge his kin's inglorious death at the hands of the hero sheriff. A whale is discovered on shore with a huge bite in it's side and a few body parts wash ashore or discovered in the most inopportune situations. This time the sheriff even has a photo of the shark's tooth along with the body parts which he uses to try and convince the same clown mayor, Larry, of the new shark threat. Of course the mayor denies the evidence and along with his capitalist bloodsucking friend conspire together to fire the sheriff and keep the threat of potential shark attacks a secret because they are more worried about the potential lost of revenue. Have you begun to see a pattern here? Does Flint, Michigan, the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles county, earthquake filled Oklahoma, ash polluted rivers in North Carolina start to make more sense to you now? Do you see the incompetence, greed, lack of humanity, moral compass that has to exist for tragedies to occur like these. The movies expose these human traits/failings to all to see if you will just pay fucking attention and connect the dots.
