Oh so you mean she doesn't work in a factory?
Historically smart money is, far away from large population centers. There's a reason the French monarchy was forced to stay in Paris during the revolution.
Other smart moves would probably be - lose the controversial defense minister, blame it all on him, put Prigozhin in a prestigious but far-away position, wind the war down slowly while trying to find a "Mission Accomplished" moment to try and cool things down with the west, etc.
Almost nobody in a position of power actually does the smart thing in these situations, though. So, my popcorn is ready today. 🍿
I could see more of a chance to reach the average consumer, once these alternatives get cheaper. Just shifting the dietary Overton window could be huge.
I don't see anybody going vegan because of this, but it might help convince some people that you don't need meat in every meal of the day.
I bet subsistence leads to a level of pragmatism we haven't seen on a societal level since. It takes a certain level of your needs being met to start making up rules.
If the best hunter in the tribe is a woman... Get to it, we all want to eat right?
