Good idea! I dont know if it's just me but that link doesn't work unfortuantely (and i have a notebook LM account).

I like your spirit although I'm afraid it would take more than a referendum to upend factory farming.  

One was recently held in the Switzerland and, even in that relatively progressive place, most Swiss voted to hold onto the status quo. You can find out more about it here: forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/gDRH2SrN34KdDvmHE/abolishing-factory-farming-in-switzerland-postmortem  which includes:

"The opposition [to abolishing factory farming] commanded resources which significantly exceeded our own. In order to have a realistic chance at the ballot box, any future initiative would likely require a substantially larger budget and campaign team."

I don't mean to be a debby downer, and in fact I'd be happy to join a campaign team with you, especially after watching your vid.

Animals win on scale & neglectedness while humans win on my (and maybe God's) speciesism bias (but if God exists I think He would appreciate us trying to help out animals i.e. His creations).

I  just wanted to say I really appreciated you illustrating the scale by translating individuals into seconds.

That really helped me wrap my head around this.

I think donor matching is a good idea and this post has a great title- it got me to read the article more than once. And now I want to donate to the bonus fund but I just have one question first:

Do the non-bonus donors get to decide which charity to support within a range of charities, and if so what's in that range?

Just wanted to say thanks for your eye opening analaysis.

And I'm not surprised because Fodor relentlessly releases amazing content.

Check out his podcast if you don't believe me or just want to learn more about science.
