Part of the issue is that Germany needs a lot of skilled workers, and the qualifications of immigrants from poorer countries are often not accepted. Of course, Germany has a hard time attracting skilled workers because the wages aren’t that good and the immigration-related bureaucracy is a huge pain in the ass.

Yeah, they have a lot of wrong ideas (at least here in Germany), but they’re definitely facing real issues.

I’d assume that lack of space is a lot more critical than maintenance costs in Paris.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to base it on length and width? I’d assume there’s already various taxes on fuel consumption, but in parking, length and width are what actually matters.

Thanks!

The mix of possible food sources is something I hadn’t considered. I can definitely see that insects could be useful for using up food scraps.

Land use is a complicated one. 18 instead of 25 m² is definitely something, but it pales in comparison to how much more land is used by cattle, pigs or chicken. And it’s not like soybeans (or any other legumes) are intrinsically a destructive crop.

Same would be true for pea protein powder, tho. Maybe cricket powder is actually cheaper than isolated legume protein, but legume protein seems like a much easier sale.

its cost in terms of emissions and land use is much smaller than either meat or plants (especially stuff like soy)

Is that true? Do you have some links for that?

I’m still kind of puzzled about why you’d want to use something like this, instead of plant-based ingredients.

Though obviously it doesn’t make sense to completely outlaw it, either.
