Except he made himself the posterboy for his companies like $30 billion pivot and sank the whole project because he is the least likable, least cool person on earth.

They'd mainly be trying to replace small antelope and small game.
I can't say whether horse meat is really a better substitute than wild pig or anything like that.

The crux of your argument seems to be that it free-range meat is more cruel than factory farmed meat. That if an animal lived a good life before slaughter it is more tragic than if we birthed them in a cage, deprived and abused them consistently from start to finish.
We round them up because they are an invasive species that disrupts the local ecology. We slaughter them because nobody else wants them. But every ounce of meat produced this way seems infinitely more ethical than the more systemic methods.

An adult warthog would fuck a cheetah up.

>They were free roaming wild animals. Rounded up. Penned and potentilnally abused. Then bought en masse and sold for meat.
That's the definition of livestock.

Wild hogs are exterminated en masse because they are an invasive pet brought over from Eurasia. Probably the worst thing you could have compared a horse to.

They are in hot competition. Zuck is tanking his company in order to prop up his ego.

Its not even really a short term boost for the stock. Layoffs are seen as a massive red flag for the stock and news of them is usually followed by a drop in stock price.
That could be counteracted by funneling money to shareholders (dividends or buybacks), but since layoffs are expensive, you don't actually have more money to funnel to shareholders. You have to pay a ton of severance, and you will need the liquidity in a few months when you rehire anyway.

That's just price discovery. But long term their goal is to make and sell more widgets at the higher markup.
Generally companies are expected to grow every single year. Whats your growth plan? How does firing employees help?

I don't think that's a great way to compare countries. Half the time the US has negative migration with Mexico. Meaning more people are leaving US for Mexico than vice versa. Does that make Mexico better than the US?

Its not consistent which direction the net migration is, which is why I say "half the time".
