Super Emissions Emitter Bill and Melinda Want to Force You to Eat Fake Meat
2021-02-17
[PJ] Imagine if Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies suddenly dropped his evil plans of world domination to start an orphanage for wayward kittens. It’s an absurd plotline, but not far off from one of the Earth’s super-carbon-emission emitters himself deciding he will tell you what to eat from now on to save the environment.

Well, if billionaire and delusional nanny-stater Bill Gates has his way, you may be forced to eat ’synthetic meat’ on a bun instead of a wonderfully tasty and juicy, Grade-A burger. He will still be clogging the air with his personal jet travel, however.

In a recent interview with Technology Review, the increasingly bizarre Microsoft founder declared that Earth’s wealthy nations should force their populaces to eat synthetic meat. Yes, really.

The magazine asked Gates if "plant-based and lab-grown meats could be the full solution to the protein problem globally, even in poor nations?" His answer boggles the mind of any red-blooded American meat-eater.

#9  This pompous sock puppet and his ilk need to be taxed into accepting obscurity as the other robber barons were a century ago.

#7  So, meat to be manufactured by machines in factory OK! Severe weather freezes al turbines and solar panels. No problem! But give Bill his due, he believes in nuclear power.
“Founded by Gates in 2006, the company recently announced it plans to build small, advanced nuclear power stations across the United States. These nuclear power stations are remarkably different from anything currently in use. That's because they rely on a new source of nuclear energy: a traveling wave reactor.” He also put my old company out of business by allowing everyone to write applications for his computer. A broken clock is correct two times a day.

#4  This from the man who said "Nobody needs more than 64K of memory."

(File that one along with "Nobody needs a gun that holds more than 6 rounds.")
