Comment There is no question (Score 1) 209

Lab grown meat is more expensive than naturally grown meat. The only way it could be preferable is through the use of government regulations

These news stories are a way to try and create policy that disincentivizes the obvious, cheaper, and higher quality genuine cattle-base meat. These people will try anything to foist expensive, lower quality, lab-grown meat onto our tables.

I think you are misusing the word trivial here. The level of engineering has made these sorts of speeds seem trivial but i assure you they are not.

You seem to be conflating the driver with the vehicle here. Building any car today en masse is no trivial matter. It is incredibly complex and expensive to do. Just because you can buy one at a dealership and press down on the throttle does make its manufacture trivial.

Comment There are definitely Federally owned companies (Score 1) 153

And this is a minority stake, in a company that is not exactly performing well, at least by market standards. Things were much more severe for several other very large US auto manufacturers in 2008, which the Federal Government actually owned virtually outright.

Of course, the amusing irony is that of conservatives using a state owned company as a strategy.
