The most boomer attitude ever. I don’t want to pay taxes that support the community because I don’t have kids.
Fuck you and your entitlement. You are not an island and can’t just decide to pay for whatever services you deem necessary. How do you think roads are maintained and fire stations funded? Or the police?
You want to go back to private fire departments who serve only the rich who pay them instead of public services?
People are more likely to buy product products and proximity to whatever it is they’re trying to cook. Makes perfect sense to have all the “stuff you put on a sandwich” ingredients and close proximity, rather than having a separate section for organic or plant-based alternatives.
A shopper who wants specifically vegetarian or vegan options has to make a special trip to that section which may be in some other part of the store. That leads to less sales for those specialty products and higher turnover.
But up non-discerning shopper might decide to try a plant-based option simply because it’s next to their usual option, or they might buy it by accident. Either way that’s a win for the retailer because someone bought a product they may not have otherwise.
Unfortunately most of these legislations fall to the consumer to make informed decisions with limited education and information, while at the same time battling deceptive practices of the retailer and manufacturer.
The whole reason a lot of these regulations even exist in the first place is the widespread deception of manufacturers lying about their ingredients or quality of ingredients and the danger of making people sick or tricking them into making purchases.
Something along the lines of Mexico’s labeling for excessive sugar etc would work well enough if adapted to “vegan/veggie/meat” etc.
The underlying issue here is it manufacturers try to hide what’s in their products and rely on people not taking the time to look at label ingredients or what they’re actually buying.
Better labeling requirements would solve a lot of these issues.
That doesn’t solve campaign finance laws or any of the other issues stemming from Citizens United.
Politicians have not represented their voters for a long time they represent their wealthy donors. Changing the mechanism for how we vote won’t change enough.
I mean the only profitable part of Google is selling you advertising. Everything else that’s marketed is being free simply there to collect data and sell it as a secondary revenue stream.
Even if you were to split it up in some sort of way most of it still paid for by profits from advertising.
I hate this timeline. I still can’t believe that a fake tv doctor has anything to do with healthcare administration.
Oh that’s an easy one Russia bought Trump and they have him by the balls.
Florida used to be a blue state. I think they are making it an example of their shit policies both as retribution but also as a showcase for their stupid policies which I hope fail spectacularly.
I wonder if this deal will also be brokered by Jarad Kushners scammy investment firm.
It’s more about the electoral college and who is the elector for the state unfortunately. Which is why a trump is trying to make sure his people are in those positions.
Maybe he should release the originals?
