  • Oh please do go ahead and tell me how much Trump is doing to stop that.

    Oh what’s that? Nothing?

    Are you saying that it was fucking obvious everyone should vote for and endorse Kamala?

    Jesus fucking Christ, anyone who didn’t support Kamala was dumb as fuck. Full stop. If your criticism of Bernie was that he supported the obvious lesser of two evils then maybe you deserve the president you got.



  • Auto manufacturing is already done in North America.

    All the posturing about tariffs before the election was about bringing back the manufacturing that has been off shored from North America to countries with lower labour standards (i.e. to India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc.), and in the case of China, to stop being so dependent on a country that is veering on outright hostility.

    The tariffs against Mexico and Canada have always been asinine and have never served a purpose, and quite frankly, using your economic weight to avoid competition and steal your neighbours jobs doesn’t benefit the world, it’s just being a greedy and immoral dick.

    If I wanted to have a conversation about the ethics of eating meet I would, and if you have a solution for suddenly convincing everyone to be vegan then that’s great, do it.

    Otherwise, don’t muddy the waters with your irrelevant abstinence only moralizing during a harm reduction conversation.

    I literally am vegetarian at the moment, Im just not a crusading idiot about it.

    Yeah, fortunately fuck off.

    You wanna talk about the ethics of eating meat, do it in a thread that cares and wants to talk about it.

    Like my fucking god, you realize that you are exactly the Republican, abstinence-only, sex educator; butting your head into a conversation about harm reduction right?

    You think your pithy dumbass comment will suddenly convince everyone to be vegan? No? Well then guess what, it’s not the clever solution you seem to think it is.

    The article also doesn’t say they couldn’t or wouldn’t intensify operations any further. They talk about the state today, not down the line in the future

    Yes it does. It literally says that our supply management system is designed to spread out production across regions so that you can’t ever have that many eggs produced in a single place.

    If you’re saying ‘well maybe Canada will throw out it’s supply management system and do something completely different’ then sure, literally anything can happen in the future, that’s not a meaningful point. The point is that Canada’s supply management system prioritizes production being distributed over greater areas which inherently leads to smaller farms and helps to prevent the spread of disease, and is a better system than the American one of mass concentration and racing to the bottom.

    Yeah, factory farming is still shit, but there is a structural difference with allowing farms to concentrate to the level that American farms do. When an infectious disease hits, you cull a far greater proportion of the population.

    Supply management doesn’t solve all ethical issues with eggs and dairy, but it is still a better system than unregulated free market capitalism.
