As you’ve probably heard, Michigan is absolutely in a tizzy over invasive red crawfish that have set up shop near their lakes and rivers. Property owners and planners alike are up-in-arms over the way that mudbugs are damaging their property and infrastructure. Louisianans have never met a problem that food couldn’t fix, so they had a few suggestions to help our worked-up Northern friends.
First off, you should always be thinking about your next hustle:
Michigan is currently undergoing a “crawfish infestation” they’re literally pouring bleach in ponds to kill them instead of making money off them hoes. Idiots.

Nobody from New Orleans wants to go out there and, Idk, open a seafood store 👀

Cause I’ve been trying to figure out for the life of me why those people from Michigan just don’t set up crawfish boils along their rivers and boil crawfish all day?!
Shoot charge $5 a lb for anyone who wants some!

Still others were jealous of the Michiganders who couldn’t see their blessing for what it is:

And after a season of exorbitant per-pound prices, there were many folks who were booking their tickets to follow their Louisiana crustacean pals up to cooler climes.

We were almost on poor Michigan’s side. But then an official state Twitter account had to send out this blasphemy.

You know, maybe this uprising of Louisiana crawfish is just another example of the universe balancing itself out. After all, how many people has Michigan sent down our way in recent years. It’s only fair we make a little exchange.
For extra entertainment, take a look at this local news report on the devastation of having too much crawfish:
