China has been manipulating the lithium market the same way they've been manipulating the rare earths market (ie, poor environmental standards and anti-competitive practices by trying to build a monopoly). No other car company can acquire batteries at the same low cost as Chinese car producers. As soon as the supply chains are fixed (for both lithium and rare earths) this won't be a problem anymore.
China's dumping practices are well documented in the car industry. They overproduced and are now selling below cost.

I wouldn't call plant-based meat alternatives "healthy" unless your idea of healthy is dying of salt poisoning.
Meat is delicious, but a vegan diet is perfectly healthy.

Also, our ancestors have been eating meat for thousands of years with no effect on the weather
That's a really big claim. You have not done the research or looked at the evidence to back it up. It's something you pulled out of your ass. Don't do that.
It is possible that our ancestors eating meat had an effect on the weather.

It's very clear that you didn't read the article, don't understand the arguments involved, but SOMEHOW feel entitled to spout your opinion.
Why?? Why not just read the article and become smarter? You don't need to show your ignorance off to the world, you can easily read the article, become non-ignorant and say something informed.

The only reason th US is where it is right now is because the dollar is still the world currency. It remains so because you need dollars to buy oil.
People who complain about the US dollar and oil are people who've never taken an economics class.
If you're too lazy to learn economics, then do a simple search to find out the world's oil production compared to the number of dollars in the world, and that should give you an idea of how much influence it actually has.

Simply stated, the psychological industry has a monetary profit motive in getting more people on daily maintenance medicine. Each person on a daily maintenance medicine means 2 to 4 office visits per year allowing a psychologists to have a steady stream of paying customers.
This is much cheaper than actually going through the labor intensive process of psychoanalysis, so insurance companies like it.
