China also killed millions of its people in the great leap forward.
Pardon me if we don't follow the same approach

Reply to comment by Schrodingers_tombola in Italy wages war on lab-grown food in drive to protect tradition by BlueZybez
Most people can never be convinced of a vegan diet. I mean, I'm not actually vegan. The lab-grown meats could bring an organic (pun intended) change to society. If it will be available and as good as real meat (and maybe even more affordable), a lot more people could be convinced, thus maybe even opening the door to legislation partially banning farm animals, or enforcing better conditions for them.
It's not good enough that technically people could switch over to vegetables, because most people won't.

I don't think Italian products like Parma Ham or Parmesan are natural, so I don't think it is an appeal to nature. I'm not a paleo moron. I'm just sick of people waiting for tech solutions to things they could do straight away, when the tech solutions end up being worse anyway. I remember when uber and Tesla were going to have self-driving taxis by now and we wouldn't need to buy our own cars. All the money wasted on uber most places would have been better off spending on their existing taxis, public transport and cycling. Now second-hand cars are even more expensive than ever (not ubers fault, to be fair).
I just can't help but feel the same will apply to lab grown meat, and that we'd be better off solving the problem of people eating too much meat by having them eat less meat, rather than delaying the reckoning.

Sans the explosive warheads, literally all of the fairly new, revolutionary drone tech being used in ukraine right now is civilian tech, and can be improvised pretty trivially by any small group of people with some kind of engineering background.
It's a damn good thing that terrorists and pissed off political agitators have apparently not realized – just yet – that you can just strap an IED to a cheap FPV drone off of alibaba and start running around assassinating politicians from concealed positions 1km away or whatever. Or just drop pipe bombs from a heavier hexa / octa copter a la Ukraine: heck, the designs and release mechanisms that Ukraine is using for their jury rigged grenade / mortar shell delivery drones is practically open source at this point.
Anyways the Shahed isn't even 21st century drone tech; that thing is just (more or less) a mid-sized hobbyist RC plane kit, packed with explosives, that uses GPS to navigate towards a preselected geographic target. Literally just an ad hoc WW2 V1 (and with a similarly terrible accuracy rate), but built with mostly off the shelf parts that anyone in the west (or in iran, apparently) could acquire and build given sufficient time and engineering resources.
No two bit terrorist is gonna engineer and build a shahed though: much, much easier to just build (and test) pipe bombs or whatever. And the issue, again, is that you could literally just strap a pipe bomb to an FPV, and have a fairly accurate guided munition that any idiot off the street could use.
Technically speaking, yes, just about any sufficiently motivated individual could probably build and launch a shahed by themselves – but you'd have to be a pretty particular kind of terrorist wierdo to want to and be capable of doing that.

The police won't be affected by the changes, they can retire as soon as 52 y.o.
In the past few years they lowered the standards of the academy. If a police trainee has a history of domestic violence, anger issues, DUI, they can still become full fledged members of the police. At worst they might have to repeat a year, very few of them are actually fired from the academy.
So, you have a rising amount of unstable individuals with authority and weapons, who are not affected by the new law, and they know they won't get punished for beating up citizens.

No I mean people should reduce consumption of meat in general by eating more veggies, lentils beans and pulses, rather than lab-grown stuff. It's something we all can do now to make a difference without having to wait for lab-grown stuff, and it will make us all healthier in the long run.
Processed meats and cheeses should be high-quality and infrequent treats, rather than forming the bedrock of every meal.

Insurance really isn't the magic fix people make it out to be. Not everything is insurable, having to deal with raising rates because of shit like this means having to spend more just to keep what you already have, and that's not including the fact that you need to spend time in order to get the insurance payout and then replace everything that got burned down.
And that's assuming it's practical to replace everything that got torched.

Ok, let's go this way, show me articles that talk about private housees being set on fire on purpose?
And I'm not sure I'm a hypocrite since I'm french and the public equipment being set on fire has been paid with my taxes, so it is mine in some way.

While China is a the largest polluter on earth. The US produces 2 time more emmisions per capita then China. So while China is atleast somewhat trying to curve CO emmisons. The US just doesn't even seem to bother to try
