  • Meat products are, per kilo, much more costly for their nutrient profiles compared with plant based alternatives. Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies. There’s a reason third world countries rely on plant based foods, because they’re objectively cheaper.

    There are many cultural practises that we’ve left in the past. Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things. I can’t say it’s my culture to sacrifice children, even if it is.

    I’d put convenience under the umbrella of pleasure. If we all lived our life based on convenience, people would drink drive, people wouldn’t care about consent, just because it’s easier doesn’t mean it’s right.

    If my morality was based on whether it cause friction with my family, what weak morals I would have? “In this house, we say the N word!”, “okay yes sorry mum, here I go saying the n word again!” Like, stick up for what’s right, don’t crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect.

    Plant based food is objectively cheaper, culture doesn’t permit amoral acts, convenience isn’t a valid reason to do wrong, and if mild social pressure from family is enough to cause one to act immoral, then those morals were pretty flimsy to begin with.






  • This is such a milquetoast retort.

    You have such a misunderstanding of government if you think federal funding allocation is not fundamental change, it’s a core function of government. Funding semiconductor production to reduce dependence on Taiwan has such far reaching consequences.

    Durr, unless ALL medications can be free, it’s a worthless bill!

    Another complete misunderstanding of government powers, of course it had to be with bipartisan medications, do you not think the house and senate wouldn’t filibuster over broad sweeping healthcare changes?

    What would you have preferred Biden do in Ukraine?

    And a strong economy directly tied to the Build Back Better Act gets a “no” from you. Good one.

    I could go through each of your shithouse Biden demands, but as soon as I saw a federal wage increase I knew you had no grasp on the role of federal government. Why should the minimum wage in Utah be the same as California?
