I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously.
I wonder if this time around they’re going to stick to their guns about how simple protective measures somehow infringe on their freedumbs, or if a little prudence will suddenly become “the American Way.”
I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.
Imagine the options we would have if we instead subsidized plant-based alternatives and the research to get us away from meat and dairy. There’s no reason for continuing the cruelty and wasting natural resources like we do when we know better.
If we put as much money into subsidies for rice and beans as we do into beef, stores would be paying you to buy that shit
