Liberals should LOVE Trumps tariffs. Higher prices on foreign goods should mean less overall products created and less stuff shipped across the ocean. That's a lot of unnecessary pollution but with higher prices, that should drop. See, it's all about perspective. Now go eat your bugs.
You really don't understand jack and spit about "liberal" ideas at all, do you? Do you also believe the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) is actually a real democratic republic and not a dictatorship?
It was obvious that the whole thing would collapse as soon as dietary reports started emerging left, right and centre that meat substitutes are significantly more unhealthy than the real thing. Has to do with all the chemical extras they need to add on to replicate texture and flavour.
Of course the crap in meat nowadays isn't any healthier, and will only get worse as we try to keep the price down so people can afford it... all while increasing profits for JBS and WH Group.
Because those pushing this do mind you having a meat option.
Actually I'd go with, "The people butthurt the most about this turned it political." You can argue about grazing whatever, I'm not going to get into that pile of poo. However the loudest screechers are the "people" (in quotes because it's usually just groups / foreign corporations trying to gin up poutrage) against the stuff. They're TERRIFIED it might get enough traction to get cheaper and improve.
Now, personally speaking, I've found most of this stuff to be a non-starter. I don't think it tastes correct, nor do I think it's at the right price point. That being said, the US has given up production to Brazil (JBS) and China (WH Group) for meat, so it probably will become more cost effective rather quickly. I mean, ground beef didn't spike more than 10% year over year for nothing.
Americans won't have a choice soon, and it's because we don't care about monopolies anymore.
Uncompensated overtime? Just Say No.
