Your point is that since this will not be able to replace the entire US meat production on day one it's by default useless and shouldn't be done at all? This seems to be a common attitude nowadays. "Doing X won't completely remove the issue of Y, so there's no point". You hear this whether the topic is vaccines, homelessness, pollution, shootings, global warming, immigration, civil rights, etc. etc. No matter what, we seem unable to comprehend that a multi-pronged approach can compound positive effects.

It should be expected that adults can think critically and skeptically of what they read on the internet.

And yet the one thing social media has really shown us is that a huge portion of the population had absolutely no ability to think critically. People are content in their bubbles of confirmation bias, consuming nuggets of "information" that are fed to them by the social media algorithms. Doing "their own research" aboyt critical subjects when they have absolutely no clue how research works and generally have made up their minds anyway an "go with their guts" because it feels good and makes them feel smart. Social media has become a poison. I'm not sure if it is actually making people dumber, or is just highlighting how shocklingly stupid they already were...

Canada is a dictatorship now? How delusional does one have to be to think that? And are we currently living in a "communist utopia"? Does someone who says that even have a remote idea about what communism actually is? As for the rest, anyone who thinks that a president (any president, even the last one) can single-handedly control those things doesn't understand government, economics, geography, or any other useful subject. Of course I'm not worse off under Biden, what utter nonsense. So clearly you are wrong about it being undeniable (I just denied it). Just because you are worse off doesn't mean everyone is. Come on, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and stop looking to government to fix things for you.
