Yeah let's subsidize food so that grocers can continue to increase prices and all those subsidies end up back in the pockets of the rich.
I just want to point out that most butchers don't work on the kill line. I can see PTSD being common there, but it is definitely not common for retail butchers. Most retail butchers don't even see a carcass anymore.
people don't want to witness what goes on in slaughterhouses
That's exactly why they're secretive. It's also true of many other industries and processes. There are a lot of things we benefit from that have unpleasant origins. When it comes to meat, you can make a relatively easy choice about it.
The ethics of animal slaughter and how it’s done are almost a separate conversation imo

We don't want a situation where workers have the full bargaining power of their labor?

What's the lifecycle impact on the environment? You're saving a few hundred watts a day, but how many watts of dirty energy did it take to build the thing?

So if the most exciting part of the race is the engineering that went into the car, then what's the point of watching the race? You'd be probably be more interested watching Bill Nye.
You cannot invest in peace without also investing in war. Like someone else said, a country with no military is a country with no negotiating power.
