dude, people literally ate nothing but potatoes and milk for the longest time. it's the direct reason why we had industrialization at all. because people could live off milk and potatoes without owning large plots of land. it was revolutionary. so i find it very hard to believe that we would be consuming more dairy nowadays versus our ancestors, who literally had nothing else to eat.

just like how people keep complaining about facebook groups.

they uprooted every community and hobby discussion board ever and move them to a platform that doesn't support distribution of information then moan that it's just spam and repeated engagement content.

watch musk turn the "savings" from "DOGE" efforts into a gov purchase of twitter at twice what he paid, with the argument that they plan to nationalize a digital platform for communication between politicians and voters, while tying a privatized transactions system to the platform where he siphons a small percentage of every transactions ever done by an american henceforth.

most businesses have to run ads to turn a profit. part of the equation of every sale you make comes down to a finely balanced cost of ads vs the profit on sales of the product or service, if the cost of advertising is higher than the product, it's a product that basically just won't enter the market (yay capitalism). so ads companies like google or facebook are essentially forcing most businesses around the globe to pay them a percentage on each and every product or service sold.

i mean, isn't their whole argument that capitalism will do a much better job at innovation and progress so there is really no reason for the government to fund research.

they should get rid of NASA too, while they're at it. let the private market (elon's own spacex) fund their research.
