Please tell us more or other things!

Yeah exactly (mine was the daughter of a land lord family and married a capitalist heir who fetishised her hard). Lining up for new gadgets did happen, too. Though often not personally.

I do hope it is worth a good deal. I know that the field is too far away from my expertise for me to really get what is and isn't possible so I have to heavily lean on people who do.

I think repeating that you are a dictator was a good one. To remind people of that is good and sometimes drop hints that the only thing stopping you sometimes are unions or the threat of them.

My millionaire friend from school did buy those new things, used them, lost, or destroyed them within a couple of month and had like 1-2 phones per year or more (newest models of course).

Fundamental chemical engineering reality prevents it from scaling to extent needed for production of commodity protein

Some people I know in the general field and a PhD chemist and a factory process engineer I talked with do disagree with that a bit.

Something I do see as chance are future generation bioreactors in any case.

it fails as a way to avoid animal exploitation because fetal bovine serum vampired out of cow fetuses is still required to make the stuff.

That is true but can be substituted in the future.

The main points that help us now are changes in consumption, resilience and an end of capitalism.

There’s no way around it.

I am not totally convinced with that part, but the rest I would critically support.

If you grow plant matter in labs or hydroponics with usage of sunlight and water nutrition enhancement you will be better than lab meat, but there are plenty of plants which in the wild are less good. However there are also plenty which are good enough and widely available in the soils we currently got.

Your point will at least for 15-30 years be totally true (since energy production for both lab meat and hydroponics is on average bad).

gish gallop

I will pick only one example:

Biden invested 500 billion into [climate change]

No. During Biden's presidency according to the PR talking points presented private companies did claim to have invested or are about to invest up to $500 billion in manufacturing and clean energy. Two very different things.

[China] spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries.
That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion.
The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments

Seems that xigma-male does more than biden-alert ( Or Trump trump-anguish ) even if you only look at clean energy for China.

It also is often how conservatives and reactionaries and a couple of libs I know talk.

Like: "No, just cause you did a quip does not mean your argument is valid or my counter point isn't.

Things can be true at the same time and your points are mostly re-iterating things for yourself so you feel seen and heard while your self is destroyed in capitalism since your waking hours are bound to wage work during which you only get the 5 minute and lunch breaks to present your asine opinions."
