NextDoor: Where Smug Neighbors Go To High Five Other Smug Neighbors' Nonthink
This is another post from me about the (predicted) impending California bacon shortage and price rise.

I saw this on Venice Walk Streets NextDoor. P.S. Venice Walk Streets are an area where a tiny, termite-eaten shack can go for three-million five. They are all for "affordable housing" and other "progressive" values -- except, say, if you want to build said affordable housing within a five-mile radius of them.

This was comment #83 on NextDoor -- mine -- after 82 previous comments from a bunch of smugs thrilled to bits about this law; many vegan and happy there might be less meat-eating (and never mind how that might play out):

No, nobody give the slightest thought to how it this might affect the poor and low-income. I am for humane treatment (and by that I mean humane living conditions and slaughter for animals we eat), but basically "progressive" voters passed a measure that is likely to cause a shortage of pork products as well as a skyrocketing of prices. Those who will be most affected mostly are unaware.

People who want everyone to eat in a way that suits their ethics -- including people who scrape to afford food -- could put money behind this and buy bacon for others that comes from pigs raised with ample space and other standards. What is really awful is their voting in a law with unintended consequences, just when food prices have been escalating anyway.

I know about this, so I've stockpiled bacon, and thanks for the reminder to order a dozen more packs before December 31 -- before bacon either becomes unavailable or sold for Ritz-Carlton-type prices.
