Shit don’t make any sense. Stuff like weed and meat alternatives are a profitable and emerging market. Why don’t these people pivot towards it or at the very least make it easier for them to exploit the market once shit hits the fan and all the cows disappear?
Requires investment in new infrastructure and dealing with new regulations. They want profit now not tomorrow
And also all your existing infrastructure and know-how could end up losing its value. I believe the ICE car industry has similar concerns wrt electrification.
I get that a lot of capitalists are probably invested in meat agriculture, but opposing weed makes no sense at all to me financially. It's not like it's gonna take away from existing industries, it's by far the easiest drug to get your hands on and rn it's an illegal market to invest in. The only reason I can think of is brainworms, like these capitalists must associate drugs with poor people and people of colour, which are obviously evil
