"I think that cryptocurrency will be used more but not completely cut out cash bills.  These bills have always been our currency and I think changing them could be hard for many people. Over 34% of Americans are aged 50 and over and introducing a new…"

"I don't think the meat packing industry is a hidden monopoly. Livestock owners get paid the right amount of money for the meat they bring in. It is no doubt that it takes a lot of time and money to raise livestock. I feel that some laws could be put…"

"I agree that slaughterhouses are humane. Most livestock is used in the show industry which teaches kids hard work and many other life skills. "

"I agree that slaughterhouses are very sanitary and clean because they make sure no bacteria is passed around. "

"I agree that slaughterhouses do bring in a lot of money; however, if they don't treat there animals right the government will step in and shut them down. After butchering there is a lot of signs that the animal has been mistreated. "
