You think the majority dictates whether an industry or law exists? Why aren't private planes illegal yet? Why are we still dependant on oil? Why don't women have the same rights as men? Why do police have juducial immunity to murder? Why does the military industrial complex exist? There are systems and forces greater than just a majority.
Excuse the idiom, but we have to boil a frog, and it's easier to do it through slowly turning up the temp. To get someone to move to a mostly vegetarian is easier when you tell them "sure you can still eat meat." Then, when meat isn't a staple of the dish, it's much easier to transition them to full vegetarianism/veganism.
On top of that, the meat industry (who is actually dictating how much meat is in the US diet) would collapse if people are eating meat less than 2 days a month.
Marxism is scientific truth and fears no criticism. If it did, and if it could be overthrown by criticism, it would be worthless. In fact, aren’t the idealists criticizing Marxism every day and in every way? And those who harbour bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideas and do not wish to change — aren’t they also criticizing Marxism in every way? Marxists should not be afraid of criticism from any quarter. Quite the contrary, they need to temper and develop themselves and win new positions in the teeth of criticism and in the storm and stress of struggle. Fighting against wrong ideas is like being vaccinated — a man develops greater immunity from disease as a result of vaccination.

Getting the whole world on a 95% plant based diet is effectively the same as getting 95% of the world to be vegan. Which do you think is more immediately achievable when there is always this much push back from meat eaters?
This hasn't been a problem for a decade or two, but I see drive costs inflate immensely, I wonder how it will impact how "bloat" is processed. Not everyone has infinite access to storage. BTRFS and other fs dedup features may be an acceptable work around, but I don't know flatpacks structure enough to know if they can benefit from it.
Likely you've become accustomed to it and I'm a little jealous. As a non-coffee drinker, when I have rarely needed it, it's always a burnt flavor, no matter how mild the roast.
It used to be that being a ML (Malicious Linguist) in someones garage was the rage, now we got "Hackers with Chinese characteristics" smh
