This administration is going to accidentally encourage a ton of earth friendly behavior. Won’t offset the evil being done, but it’s kind of funny.
If food is too expensive, don’t eat.
-Republicans
Famine makes ecconomic sense
-Also Republicans
Why aren’t the plebians having kids? We need more wage slaves! Maybe outlawing abortion is the solution.
-Republicans, again
Also “Eggs are too expensive, I will bring the prices down on day one”
Are eggs still expensive? I haven’t heard anyone bitch about it in a while and I have my own flock.
I was in an argument just yesterday on the “not having enough kids” subject where people were insisting that younger generations are choosing to live in “expensive places” and that they should move to “cheaper places” so they can start families. As if the idea of abandoning their lives, careers and friends to go live out in the boonies in order to provide a bare-minimum QoL for their family is going to change any dual-income-no-kids couples’ minds.
There are no cheap places to move. In the USA, anyway. Anywhere that has “affordable” homes has no jobs, so they’re not actually affordable. And employers are getting harder about remote work. It’s very frustrating because I would happily move to a “less expensive area” but I can’t afford it 😂
“Clearly, this generation knows nothing of hardship. It may not seem like it but we live in the most equitable period in the history of the US and the tools and technology available to you give you no excuse for failure. The previous generations had the Great Depression and World Wars and all you do is complain. Instead of living selfishly beyond your means, try living on a budget. You don’t need to have money to start having kids, there are people living in poverty all over the world and that’s not stopping them.”
Obviously, just about the biggest /s I’ve ever /s’ed. These are just an example of the things people have said to me, taken more or less verbatim.
LOL, she was soooo close for a moment, I guess. She’s still adhering to protein mythologies, it seems. It’s 2026. Do people still not know?
But I find it funny that the cons clutched their pearls so hard over Michelle suggesting kids get more exercise and eat vegetables. And now it’s a con that is depriving them of beef and telling them to make do.
I thought the liberals were going to make conservative eat bugs and live in a shoebox and own nothing?
They are hypocrites, they don’t care and neither does the electorate. They would have dragged her regardless of what she did or said. Remember they were making a commotion about a fucking tan suit.
Yet when Michelle Obama merely suggested that Americans eat better and exercise, the pedo GOP blew a gasket.
Is Trump about to give the same inadvertent boost to plant-based diets and the environment as he did for renewables?
He’s so far right that he’s popping out on the left like in Kid Icarus. Did you hear about those $5k socialism checks? EVs are getting adopted en masse. Now reducing beef in diets? What’s next, common sense gun control? Fully legalized cannabis? Trust busting?
It’s too bad he’s holding up gigantic projects like wind and solar. Also, many subsidies for EV and rooftop solar disappeared. So, yeah, if he brought that back, demand might shoot way up thanks to the failed policies of donnie.
I was hoping somebody other than me would remember that!
I thought that might be where she goes, but she’s about as clueless about nutrition as can be expected of a winger.
let them eat cake
I thought it was poor quality Argentinian beef?
I forgot this ref, it’s a ref, right?
It’s something that Marie Antoinette was accused of saying when French peasants were starving just before the French Revolution. Consensus is that she never actually did but it’s a good little anecdote for rich people being blissfully unaware of real life.
Oil and beef are expensive. 😞
Oil and beef are expensive. 😀
Got that Marie Antoinette energy.
Have y’all seen the price of cake?
I went to the grocery store tonight, a single prefabricated slice of cheesecake was $9. That should be the price at a nice restaurant.
Good message, wrong reasoning.
Ecologists have been telling people [from rich countries] to minimize beef consumption or drop it altogether for years, but not because of its price tag.
And they said the democrats wanted to take away hamburgers.
Well, she didn’t tell them to eat rice and beans, which would have been too woke, I guess. Even if much smarter on a whole lot of levels.
She pointed them at other animal foods, or as become the new fashion, “protein”.
I was gonna say sarcastically: “this will go down well with the maga base”. But most of them will never hear it. And most of those who do will just scream “FAKE NEWS! LIBERAL HOAX!” And the few who don’t do that will tie themselves in mental gymnastics knots.
Let them eat pork.
Well, OK, I mean when you put it that way…
Lets eat the rich, then.
“Let them eat re-constituted soy!” (I’ve heard that before, but in a different language).
“It’s PEOPLE!”
Close enough… get the guillotines.
