Where I grew up, the city wanted to hire a bunch of trucks to drive around spraying malathion into the air. They had a vote, and the town voted overwhelmingly that, fuck no they did not want that, please don't do that, that sounds awful. Then they did it anyway.

Same thing; now there are pretty much 0 fireflies.

Why did they even have a vote then? They just hoped everyone would say yes?

Governing bodies regularly consist of bored narcissists who only act in their own self-interests.

They wanted less mosquitoes and held a mock election to confirm their interests and did what they wanted even though the people disagreed because they knew better, as they were the ruling class elected to carry out the piblic good aa they understand it.
