In the end, it all comes down to the corn lobby. Quick Gewgle Foo shows 40 percent of US corn is used as cattle feed. Ethanol MOVE OVER!
Mythbusters: Plausible.

Why does DeSantis hate the free market? If lab grown meat is so disgusting then consumers won't buy it and the problem takes care of itself.
The second part is obviously true, but you can't confuse him with facts and logic. Guessing he loves business, property and sales taxes more -- noting that FL doesn't have personal income taxes. According to Cattle in Florida there are a *bunch* of ranchers in Florida, presumably on a lot of land.
Today, there are more than 886 thousand head of cattle and 15,000 beef producers throughout Florida. Currently, Florida ranks 13th in overall cattle numbers nationwide. The three top ranking counties for cattle are Okeechobee, Highlands, and Osceola counties. Cash receipts from cattle and calf sales totaled over $546 Million.
Ron DeSantis is positioning himself for a Presidential run in 2028. All his political moves should be viewed with that in mind. He has no idea whether lab-grown meat is good or bad but he knows this will appeal to a certain section of the Republican base.
Ya, but in many ways, and ironically here, Ron himself is all hat, no cattle.
DeSantis said. "We will save our beef."
We will save our ranchers -- and the supporting industries.
I don't know much about the beef industry in Florida, but Cattle in Florida notes:

The chosen method of death here has so many factors layered on top of each other where every single layer needed to produce a fairly unlikely outcome.
To be fair (to the hypothetical assassin), there are many ways one can die starting from breathing difficulties. It didn't have to be complications from MRSA and most paths from having trouble breathing to death are a lot shorter and straighter. In any case, probably really difficult to prove foul play here, which would also be the point.
On the other hand, *two* Boeing whistleblower have died suddenly this year, and it's only May.

A sexual predator however, will also enter this places. They will use the loopholes you created, they have been actually doing it, a young girl in a school was sexually assaulted, it IS happening, as was anticipated. How do you tell the difference between a sexual predator identifying as a woman to get into woman spaces and someone who just has a different mental illness who identifies as a woman to enter woman places? Figure that out.
You tell the difference based on whether they are keeping to themselves and just using the restroom or walking around with their genitalia out or peeping on women in the next stall over — same as if those things happened in an alley somewhere.
Flashing or raping or molesting or peeping is a crime, and those people should be arrested, and will be arrested even without laws to close the "loophole" as you put it. In cases where such behavior isn't happening, then your only reason for making their bathroom use illegal is that it makes you feel icky, and that's just not a good enough reason to put someone in jail or subject people to harassment or other mistreatment.
Men in female attire are infiltrating women's spaces and the supporters of these men are incensed that anyone would call it out.
The other way around, I can understand being worried about, because men's rooms have urinals, but worrying about men in a women's restroom just sounds like people are looking for a reason to "other" people and using that as an excuse.
I mean, think about it. In many parts of the world, bathrooms are unisex. You're in a stall surrounded by walls by yourself. Why should you care if there are people of a different gender/sex at the sink next to you when you're washing your hands? Are you hand-washing-shy? Does it just make you uncomfortable to know that you're touching a towel dispenser that might have been touched by someone with cooties?
From my perspective, the entire reason for these laws comes down to a bizarre American fetish with keeping men and women apart, a fetish that causes substantial psychological harm for a lot of people (and not just trans people, but also people who simply like doing things that society has declared are "boy things" or "girl things", not to mention the subset of young people who, because they happened to attend a gender-segregated school, have little or no experience interacting with the opposite sex until college, and end up interacting in self-destructive ways as a result).
These sorts of laws are actively harmful to society because they promote distrust of others to an irrational degree. If someone truly is "infiltrating women's spaces", which I would interpret to mean "breaking into bathroom stalls and peeping on or molesting women", then they're already committing a crime, and you don't need a new law to throw them in jail. If they're just in the next stall doing their business, then you don't need to throw them in jail. Either way, these laws are just plain dumb.
Besides, there are a decent number of people who are not trans, but who get frequently mistaken for the opposite sex. These laws quite literally encourage people to harass people who aren't trans, all to fix something that is only a problem in the minds of people who spend way too much time worrying about how other people behave. How can anyone think that this is okay?
However, automated emergency braking systems will be a federally mandated standard . . . by 2029. Following the finalization of a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is announcing the new safety standard for all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029.
This technology requires forward-facing camera, which makes both the price and cost of maintenance and repair more expensive. In my view, it does not pass cost vs. benefit analysis.
Because of all the creepy men who are just claiming to be trans, to gain access to dressing rooms, restrooms, showers...etc.
That's pretty much a non-issue. Creepy men will be creepy
Bluetooth is not suitable for this application. Yes, you can trick it into working, but it will never be practical.

How much money does a parrot typically earn
It's not about that, but about how much they can (be convinced to) spend.
Think about them as a less-annoying child or non-working spouse.
What a waste of time.
Don't know about that. Many (most?) parrots will probably live longer than you. This makes them a better potential long-term consumer market than you. So knowing how to engage and interact with them and learn what they like could help drive ads and sales, long after you're dead.
The flow chart is a most thoroughly oversold piece of program documentation. -- Frederick Brooks, "The Mythical Man Month"
