Agreed, both on the whole and in the details. But if I'm forced into the "either/or" mindset of the OP of a hypothetical choice to shrink GDP by 1% by stopping all vacation car travel or deficit spend 1% GDP as a "Manhattan Project" to get lab grown beef commercially viable, I'm voting for the latter.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoThe latter sounds like fantasy though, and it's not the lab-grown meat per se I'm talking about. Also I wasn't talking about car usage exclusively during vacations, I was explicitly talking about private car usage. People literally get governmental subsidies for building homes in the suburbs, then commute by car and pollute the planet in order to avoid car traffic. Anyone who fails to see the absurdity of this has drank too much Kool-aid for my taste.
