That's not how money works.

Putting that aside this is not that far removed from "useless eaters" fascist rhetoric. It's the same shit as Republicans accusing poor people of using up the "taxpayer money of hard working Americans" by using more in public services than they contribute in taxes.

In summary, fuck off with this shit.

I didn't say it would "work", I think my pessimism is pretty obvious. What I said is they're going to eat plants whether they like it or not.

Unless they're hunting the Most Dangerous Game, there won't be any meat for anyone sooner rather than later.

If they ever put ads into my audiobooks I'm going to abandon civilization to live in the mountains.

Have you considered books?

I know that we are on the brink of the end of the fucking world and every dipshit capitalist thinks they can be the last ones to squeeze the last drop of profit out of our planet before the mass dying begins. They're hedging their bets to make sure lab grown meat never happens.

Justice will come for them.

Just eat plants. Treatlerites need to grow up.

It's a waste of our limited time and resources. If it's ever viable it's just going to be a treat for rich people, it will not ever be viable as a mass meat alternative for most people.

It's right up there with cold fusion and general AI. It's not happening, not on the timescale needed to avoid catastrophic climate change.

There is no plan! That's my point.

Environmental collapse is going to make meat impossible for 99% of people. There won't be anything voluntary about it, people just won't be able to afford meat and so they'll stop eating it.

We could avoid this with central planning and regulations, but we won't.

You're never going to be allowed to vote against this regime. You need to do something else.

No, everything bad that happens in the US is the fault of Russia. They are the most powerful country on Earth and the puppet masters control everything behind the scenes!

Do you think you're blameless? Do you think you're innocent?

Trump is a paper tiger, he was defeated by Ansar Allah in Yemen and China just defeated his stupid trade war.

Now you're moving the goal posts.

The fact is that she literally can't be held responsible for this, she isn't the queen of her district. That's not how government works.

This is stupid. Blocked.

Removing Corbyn was a Zionist coup.

We don't have a generation or two left.

People can choose to give up meat now or they'll give up meat later when no one can afford it anymore. I won't need to force them to become vegetarian, the economic conditions will do it for me. I'll just be ready before everyone else.

Rationing. No store is allowed to sell more than X amount of meat to any individual.

It'd create black markets and such, but the overall consumption would still go down.

And who is forcing workers to be in close contact with animals? 🙄

The article lied. She can't control police budgets. That's completely outside of her power.

If we compare it to the trade war with China, the US only kept it up for a few weeks and backed down. There are material realities that force the US to bend, it actually can't just do whatever it wants. So, if there was an international flotilla sent to Cuba to deliver much needed supplies, the US would retaliate at first and then back down when it realized the entire world was against it.

"Basic quantity" doing a lot of work here.

In famine people need extra provisions to recover or they will remain in famine. So, if they're just allowing the usual trickle, people will continue to die.

Which is probably the point.

Would it really take a navy?

If all these countries started sending joint floatillas to Cuba loaded with supplies, what would the US actually do? Blow them up? Seize them and arrest the crew?

I kinda doubt it. Maybe if Mexico did it by themselves or something they'd try, but all its allies at the same time? Would the US destroy itself just to enforce this embargo?
