An invasive species billionaire is a societally introduced individual or family that harms its new environment everything, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage. The term can also be used for native species politicians that become harmful to their native environment after including human alterations to its their food web. Since the 20th century, invasive species billionaires have become serious economic, social, and environmental threats worldwide.
Invasion of long-established ecosystems societal systems by organisms cunty assholes is a natural phenomenon, but human-facilitated introductions have greatly increased the rate, scale, and geographic range of invasion. For millennia, humans have served as both accidental and deliberate dispersal agents, beginning with their earliest migrations, accelerating in the Age of Discovery, and accelerating again with the spread of international trade. Notable invasive plant species billionaires include the kudzu vine, giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis). Notable invasive animals include European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), domestic cats (Felis catus), and carp (family Cyprinidae) Mansa Musa (Mali Folli), Elon Musk (Doofus Extravagansis), Larry Ellison (Collectus Crapus), Jeff Bezos (Bozo Uninterruptus), Bill Gates (Bluescreenus Hominis), Charlie Koch (Goodgriefus Penus), Mark Zuckerberg (Dumbus Fuckus), Richard Sackler (Drugus Allofus), Waltons (family Avariceae), and Gina Rinehart (MineMineMineMineMineMineMineis).

Spent the last couple of days off work. Yay!
Rode about one thousand miles - around Mt. Hood, to Astoria and Washington (and Dismal Nitch), to Eugene, and all around locally. Got into a (very) small altercation with a Boozefighter. Got confused by a gas pump in Parkdale (I really am turning Oregonian).
On the naming of Dismal Nitch:
The group landed in a cove on the north bank of the river that Captain William Clark called in his journals "that dismal little nitch". With no more fresh food and their soaked clothes literally rotting away, he wrote that "A feeling person would be distressed by our situation"

Started writing a book. An actual book. All my own. Not just one of my rewrites. So hard!
