I wonder if there is any upside to our new guest.
I grow a garden. I'm weeding all the time so the vegetables I plant will grow.
Now a new plant variety is introduced that produces 800,000 seeds a year, is big, poisonous, and easily spreads 250 feet from the parent. As an inquisitive person, just asking questions with a sense of wonder, could this new invasive species really be as bad as some "experts" suggest? Perhaps they exaggerate? Maybe the plants only produce 750,000 seeds a year and spread a mere 225 feet from the parent. If it's poisonous but doesn't kill everyone or every living creature it certainly won't affect me personally because I have no underlying conditions. At least none that I know of at the moment.
