From the transcript
Those— the two managers of assistance fishing game is not working. It doesn't work at all. The federal management of federal users picks winners and losers, and everybody else upriver doesn't get their fish, doesn't get the fish. And And also, the federal management system doesn't acknowledge the reality that a lot of rural community people have kids and are going to school in urban areas. And so they can't go back and help their mother and father or their grandfather live the subsistence lifestyle in those areas because it's limited to people that actually live out there.
