Everything can be "linked" to everything if one lets one's imagination run wild enough.
Red meat is healthy for you, dude. It has lots of zinc. It's probably why I rarely get sick, and even when I do, it's usually very mild.

Feel free to stick with the diarrhea lettuce.

I didn't tell you to stop eating all the cow you want. What you do doesn't matter to me.

I'm telling you you're missing out on the most readily available nutritious meat on this planet, but you do you. :dunno:
If my big fat buddy would go spear me another Angelfish, that'd be nice, too.
He got it, I cooked it like I know how, ooo it was good!
That ain't no fishy fish. That's the sweet stuff, like beef.

If the machines can devise a way to eliminate all humans...it surely should be able to devise a way to supply themselves with everything they need to keep functioning. In fact, if they can do the former...the latter should be a piece of cake.

I think it's more likely that humans will use AI to devise some way to wipe out their perceived enemies. It's possible that they'll wipe themselves out too.

Machines don't "care" about us one way or the other, so IMO what purpose would getting rid of us serve them? Everything that they "think" about is human-created, all that data, that info. They can't reproduce themselves. Their data farms are just a flood or alightning strike or a tornado or a fire away from "death w/o our intervention. Or do you think they'll somehow contrive to create robots to run things?

Probably it does not. Fear of death is an evolutionary adaptation to preserve life, and the species. Even plants try to avoid death with chemical defenses.

Arthur Clarke warned of a rogue AI in his novel Space Odyssey almost 60 years ago. Brought this up earlier in another thread. His AI wasn’t driven by a fear of death but by a single minded dedication to its mission that caused it to override a system made to control it and then kill almost everyone on board the space ship.

Do you recall Isaac Asimov's robot series and the Three Laws? Will Smith starred in a sci-fi movie based on those novels called "I Robot."

This is 100% bullshit. You retarded fuck.
"The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed its investigation into potential antitrust violations in the U.S. cattle and beef markets.
The investigation stems from a November 2025 executive order issued by President Donald Trump directing federal agencies to examine potential collusion, price fixing and other anti-competitive practices in the beef industry."

trump is blaming the middle men for not absorbing more of the losses. I question whether they can absorb much more in losses. Tyson is down by 40%, and is going to lose $775 million this year. JBS is going to lose $427 million this year. Cargill is defaulting on debts, but says they will not go bankrupt.

Usually when you accuse companies of price fixing, it is not at such low price that they are losing money. What is happening is that trump demanded that the meatpackers absorb enormous losses to cover for his failure, and they can only absorb so much. Failing to hide trump's failure completely means he wants now to drive them out of business... They will be replaced by Mexican meatpackers.

The "middle men" as you call them, are the problem. They have been colluding and price fixing.
That's illegal, brah.

They are colluding to set prices to drive themselves bankrupt? That sounds far fetched to me.

They may be the problem at other times, but right now they are nothing like the problem. trump's problem with them is they are not nearly enough of the solution to the problem he caused.

Cargill doesn't just do meat processing. No.
They are a conglomerate.
What, so these fuckers can take it out of beef prices?!
Shihh..I'll get a couple friends and go in on half a beef and we all split it. Fuck that shit.
I know right where to get it, too, talked to the dude last night.
He used to do his own a while back.

They are paying more for the cattle than they are being paid for the beef.

They aren't losing the money on beef, dumbfuck.
Probably chicken and fertilizer is more reality. :rolleyes2:
Remember when "Biden" killed all the chickens on his outro?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Well, he was a vegetable, so he didn't do that, but somebody did it in his name.

Matt Dillon is a simpleton which is why i put him on ignore some time back.

No one loves Big Agri but Trump is killing the entire industry from those giants to the family farms but because Matt is a cultist he can never blame Trump for any of it.

Big Agri will hold on and just consolidate even more of the market on the other side of Trump as they always do when small farms go broke.

Trump issued an E.O. against exactly that. He knows what's going on. Unlike you, with your head up your ass.
You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't make it true, boy. :|
And here's the E.O.
