Not really; Cali wants to make hog production humane vs factory raised. The downside is the way they are going about it.
I’d like to make sure factory laborers working in other countries are working in humane conditions before I worry about hogs or chickens.
Like laborers making basketball sneakers, EV car batteries, etc.

Who actually does that though? We have auditors following the paper trail of trees, from stump to Home Depot and Staples to make sure that it's "environmentally certified"; yet who even looks at anything more than the price tag when it comes to buying sneakers? Yet it all comes back to the level playing field which we discussed earlier... factory workers in Sri Lanka are happy to be able to afford food, whereas people here complain while eating in front of their TVs.

Pigs and chickens have to be housed in spacious apartments or they can't be sold in California. Don't blame politicians for that one, the voters got together and passed an initiative. They are projecting a shortage of bacon, and substantial price rises for both pork and chicken products. Forge some paperwork, load a refrigerator truck in Vegas, and head for LA.

Just like drugs. Illegal doesn’t matter one bit.

Yep, now it's legal to smoke pot but not to eat bacon. I think some people in Cal. have been smoking too much weed.

We're finding that with our company trucks. Apparently transmissions were lasting too long, so they eliminated the tranny coolers.

Actually with synthetic it isn't as bad, and the cooler is included if you get the towing package.
Why would you buy a truck and NOT get the towing package (if you are planning to tow)? Built in brake controller and additional transmission cooling capacity will do wonders to increase transmission lifespan.

Spellbinding reply, Solitary Man. The screen name suits you, btw. (y)
But seriously, it’s nice to see you agree that humans need more love than chickens. :) Very social.

Just came back from Denver. They don’t call it the “Mile High City” for no reason. Lol
Weed smell everywhere. CA is bad, but so is CO.
