Conalateral or Conulateral

Conalateral / Conulateral: The conceptual collision arising from Biolateral and conundrum with conative. As mentioned in our Biolateral (posting), how does society then support the individuals facing reduced or non-existent income due to reduced fishing and stocks or an outright ban? Would society offer them permanent unemployment insurance as a collateral consequence of these/this actions? The conundrum here is how to meet these needs...

Biolateral: The conceptual collision of biology and collateral. The growing (?) awareness that humanity had better start treating the world's depleting stocks of food organisms (tuna, cod, shrimp...) like a form of collateral - to be used only in preciously allotted quantities at a time. Or else... those stocks may not be available for use and consumption at a future time...as well as those organisms that are associated with them...

BOYCOTT Tuna.
