Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Checks out…
To cheer Yourselves up, think about how livid Texans are, that they weren't the first.
Stupid protectionism for a flawed business model.
Can’t they just call it something else?
Plant protein? Bean Patty? Vegetarian saturated fat delivery system?
They're not plant-based. They're actually synthetically growing meat without having to kill an animal. And calling it "Man Meat" sounds wrong.
Synthetic protein fibers!
Soylent protien? /j
Cultured Beef/pork/chicken etc is my guess at what we will land on
It's what the diamond industry did with success
That being said I'm really curious about Lab grown meats for endangered species that are still being hunted/poached to extinction as a means to fill the demand.
Black market/3 letter agency operations flooding the market to destroy the value of actually killing endangered species would be an interesting path that happens
But we suck so it would probably end up fueling a greater demand because profits and greed
I hate having dangerous ideas that could solve problems but are busy likely to backfire
You will only eat what Good Leader likes to eat!
The GOP wants government so small it can swim up your pee stream and live in your penis.
Isn’t that something only the federal government can regulate? “To regulate Commerce … among the several States”? Then again, who cares about the constitution anymore I guess
No. States can ban local sales of products that are legal in other states. A common example is that some states ban guns with certain features.
total obscurantism
