I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos... From the same supplier.

To an extent they're right but probably not in the way they intended to be. Government subsidies help ensure that animal ag can be profitable and incentivized regardless of consumption levels, and the ever-expanding amounts of land required for most animal ag and it's support infrastructure (eg feedstock production, a byproduct of industrial soy oil) literal fuel and are fueled by imperial expansion in a cyclic self-reinforcing fashion. If people stopped eating beef today without also protesting it's existence you'd probably see the animal ag industry continue to run on it's own fumes for years.

The straw thing was a manufactured distraction.

It's way simpler to just farm something other than cows. Plants, maybe.

What if they advocate for nuclear power and say leave the solar panels up?

I suppose it's settled then, no more large trucks!

Don't fuck around with Reddit, it's become an unchecked consent-manufacturing machine masquerading as a web 2.0 forum and if you consistently speak your mind on there it's only a matter of time until you get on some power-hungry moderator or admin's shitlist with zero means to communicate or reciprocate. Save yourself the grief and leave it to die, it's become literally what federated sites were created to make obsolete.

No I've literally been poor and living in a food desert and was pointing out that rice and beans are in fact usually more accessible than eggs in such a place, as the other user rested much of their argument on a belief to the contrary. Please don't put words in my mouth, TY.

I'm just responding specifically to your argument that eggs are easier to find than beans and rice in food deserts.

You're gonna find beans, soy and rice in a food desert a lot easier than eggs. The food desert I've lived in had at least two of the three in almost every bodega.
