67 sats \ 7 replies \ @kepford 12 Mar \ on: Some States Are Now Trying to Ban Lab-Grown Meat food_and_drinks
These are the most frustrating reactions. Governments should not be banning anything we want to put in our bodies. They also shouldn't be protecting the corporations from the consequences of their actions. There is a war on ranching. But this isn't the answer. The answer is for people to make better choices. Voluntarily. If my neighbor wants to eat a "plant" based diet. More power to him. I'm going to try to eat natural food including meat.

I also believe that people should be able to make their own choices. The free market always works well as long as people make informed decisions. The role of governments is to inform people in the best possible way so that they can then make their own decisions.

Wow. That's the role of government? If true they suck at it. Weird how often their advice aligns with corporations that bribe the leeches.

it's ONE of the government's functions. But you're right when you say that they often align themselves with corporate opinions. It's difficult for them to remain neutral, but that's how it should be.

They have a terrible track record. They have a history of lying and being manipulated. If you recognize this then we should steer people away from their influence. Not justify it.

I hear you. I tend to be the optimistic one, always believing that those in power can change their stance.

I used to be optimistic about government. Years passed... more lies, more destruction. Bitcoin is what makes me optimistic.

Optimistic about government? Or optimistic in general?
