You can’t just skip entire words for the sake of an acronym! I’m irrationally angry at this!

Like it’s doubly stupid because it gives up the ghost that the only reason it’s being discussed is that the people making this bill have an axe to grind against vegan alternatives, and “promote regular intake of dairy”? For most of the world, that’s zero.

I’m tired of hearing sob stories about dairy company owners and how they need “our help” but it’s suddenly “handouts are for the weak” when I suggest that maybe we should look into making housing or education or medicine or even food NOT luxury goods.

It’s one of the things chat gpt is quite good at. I wouldn’t be surprised if a staffer hasn’t figured that out as well

Making Acronyms a punishable offense in the post-capitalist utopia.

Noooo please let me keep my acronyms, I want to force every researcher to spend hours working through backronyms so they can give a cool name to their new type of wart removal cream or whatever.
