That story is days old. I read it earlier in the week.

It will just expand the use of synthetic beef...

What does that have to do with it?

Basic economics.

When a commodity's price reaches a certain level, consumers will switch to substitute goods.

Poultry, fish, pork...,

And if it's widespread enough people start looking for greener pastures.

I think Chicago should put a 500% tax on all food.... you know ..... for equity and social justice.

You claimed you already read that story. It isn't about the price of ingredients.

 

[Champakian]

I've been, for some time now, a proponent of the FairTax.org.

Taxes should be commodity neutral (and it excludes taxes on basic foods).

A cheeseburger should be taxed the same as any other good or service.
We must curtail government's ability to pick winners and losers.

It doesn't matter what the triggering mechanism is, the principle is an iron law of economics.

Great thread, though. Right-wing stupidity in abundance.

Hey. Stupid. Which ingredients did I talk about?

I just pointed out that if a hamburger reaches a certain price,
people will eat something else - they may even order by internet.

You seriously need to learn to fucking read asshat.

It's fun watching AJ have an aneurysm, though.

The solution is to not patronize the place.

See, every now and then you can be not batshit.
