MODERATORS
That's a wild statistic
13% of the population owns 50% of the planet's land
How is that even possible? They must be having beef for every meal. How do they not have a heart attack or stroke every week from that?
Uh oh a bunch of thumb shaped Americans are gonna have to develop an actual personality.
Oh no, without beef they might actually be able to take a shit without the aid of laxatives!
I fear this means more imports from cattle raised in deforested parts of the Amazon, fed with soy also grown in deforested parts of the Amazon. Fun fact, cattle and soy are over 70% of Brazil's agriculture output.
So when it was confirmed that feeding cows bird flu contaminated shit spread the disease to cows and the efficent uber smart market people just kept feeding them more contaminated shit.......
Reduced supply increases profits! More sick people increase healthcare stonks. 
The line goes up. 
Yes some of you may die, but that's a price I'm willing to profit on as well.
