These people are nuts. There are like 2 billion starving humans on earth and they want to make food more scarce and more expensive. I can’t even say that this would make them ‘feel better’ if they had any real thought they would realize how many will be harmed by such inane policy.

Reminds me of this plastic straw ban for some reason. I fail to see how a plastic straw is worse for the environment than a paper straw - how much energy and other environmental damage is used to make a paper straw? Cutting trees, milling the wood, bleaching the wood, turning it to paper, rolling it and gluing it and then wrapping it in a plastic (or paper again) is a net environmental positive? Why not just hard plastic reusable straws, like the dishware and utensils used in restaurants? They can be washed and disinfected - but they are banned.

And how many of these green people love Starbucks? Starbuck’s entire business model is based on massive amounts of trash. No plastic straws but billions of plastic cups, plastic lids, plastic bags full of beans, even plastic CDs of music. I bet Starbucks is responsible for entire landfills at this point but how much trash do these “green” people create just by their patronage of Starbucks? I for one never go there.

Sorry, I’m ranting...

Just think of AOC’s constituents, all of whom are totally dependent on the very industrial farming she and her fellow communists want to “take a look at.” They’ll be the first to starve.

If they are right about AGW, we are completely screwed. We might as just well party hearty because nothing we can do will stop it, least of all mindless virtue signalling.

But it was a really good rant, and I agree. :-)
