WTF
$2,600/head beef cattle
$6,500/head dairy cattle.
are they trying to prop up soy milk and impossible burgers???!!!
it will be cheaper to eat well marbled liberal burgers

Wife said something about that yesterday.

Tell them to come on if they are coming!

Link?

That’ll be a deal breaker for even demoroids.

I saw it through a secondary source to Twaddle poster @TheRightMelissa/status/1443946138143543300

That must be the genius of Ocrazio Cortez showing.

I dare them to pass it and try to enforce it.

We have about 1/2 million dairy cows in this area. Some of the big dairies have 5 to 10k cows. That's $32 to 65 million in taxes.

I'm opposed to any new taxes and spending. Period. But this methane tax claim on livestock doesn't seem to pass the smell test.

They probably want to pass a per udder tax to kill dairy.

These globalists want us eating soy, algae and insects, and this isn't an exaggeration Of course they and their cronies will still eat Wagyu beef and veal whenever they want..

Only rich people own a cow.

Think about it.

Fugk those Commies. This isn’t China and I’ll die on that hill

"Republicans on the committee tried to amend the proposal to specifically exempt cattle operations. But Democrats defeated the amendment, saying the proposal didn't apply to agriculture to begin with."

If that's true, then why wouldn't the Democrats be willing to specifically exempt agriculture?

You can't ever believe anything a democrat says.

This sounds like Gates new business model.
Tax beef out of existence while buying all the farmland for pennies on the dollar.
After that, he can require his Soylent Green as the new Western staple.
Meat rations will be according to the rate of deaths that result from his shots.
Just kidding.

30% of the people in this country think beef originates in styro/cellophane trays and milk originates in plastic jugs, they don't connect the bovine to these products.

Not that far off actually. Remember that pyramid with with food and stuff on the bottom?

Probably not, but it's pretty common knowledge to most educated people.

The bottom line is that it's easy to make money when you've got money.

my editorial comments..

There were a couple of major agribusinesses that bought space on that pyramid from the FDA if I remember the ag history class. Gates might just have enough money to buy space on that for his products. Start with prison, military and public school contracts and he's got it made.

Supposedly the methane tax is "ag exempt" but that still leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

I agree with others here, it is a movement for pushing out meat and dairy production. The BS being fed to the general public about methane coming from dairy and beef cattle is just that, BS. The Beef cattle industry contributes to only 3% methane gas, dairy 4%. I see ridiculous articles posted about masks cows wears to catch burps and potty training dairy cows.
Yet Jeff Bazos torches off how many gallons to get his oversized
d i l d o into space..

They haven't even finished writing the bill.

I kinda always believed he has it made already.

Once you reach as certain threshold of wealth, it ceases to be about the size of your accounts. It becomes about power over the lives of others. I think that's the definition of EVIL.
