Demand would go down, so meat companies would reduce breeding to reduce output. Or start an ad & lobbying campaign to increase demand again.

A couple years ago, I was at a station waiting for a (delayed) ICE train. I couldn't buy a ticket at the machine or with the app, since the train had already departed (if it had been on schedule). The ticket machine also wouldn't take VISA / MasterCard, only the more common Girocard (most people still call it EC)

Later, in the train, when I asked the conductor to buy a ticket with my Girocard, he said "That's not a commonly used payment method" and asked for VISA, or cash (not having any to provide change, obviously).

ah, that makes sense. Looks like the gdate I'm using only links against libsystem, and I don't have a glibc anywhere. So it's the darwin libc that doesn't have this bug.

Testing with https://hub.docker.com/_/busybox, it seems like musl also has this problem. uclibc is not affected.

The part about "using the text of the invalid timezone" seems to be fixed in latest GNU date (8.32):

  $ TZ=EDT gdate
  Wed Feb 10 13:22:23 UTC 2021
  $ gdate --version
  date (GNU coreutils) 8.32
  ...
8.30 (shipped in debian buster) still has the problem.

The BSD version of date shipped with MacOS 10.15 also does not seem to have this bug.
