Two Thirds of Elite Americans Favour Food and Energy Rations to Combat Climate Change, Poll Finds
The Daily Skeptic ^ | 1/22/23 | Chris Morrison

Posted on 01/22/2024 8:19:45 AM PST by MMusson

The profound disconnect between the attitudes shared by the ‘top’ 1% elites in American society and the rest of the population is laid bare by the results of an illuminating new poll. Nearly six in 10 elite members believe there is too much individual freedom in America, more than two-thirds favor rationing of food and energy to combat climate change, somewhere between a half and two-thirds favor banning things like SUVs, gas stoves, air conditioning and non-essential air travel, while two-thirds believe teachers should decide what children are taught. Meanwhile, 70% of those polled trust Government to “do the right thing most of the time”, while among these groups, President Biden enjoys an 84% approval rating.

How about cannibalism, if we don’t eat their brains? It sounds kinda eco-friendly.

Two Thirds of Elite Americans have no clue how things work they live in their cocoon it’s a small and uninformed world they live in.

Most Freepers are in denial about one critical part of the article...

The elites support Biden.

They don’t want him replaced.

My read—that is a good indicator that he is not going anywhere unless he croaks.

Who are these “elites” and why are they elite?

Have they received special training or education?

Are they faster? Stronger?

Having more money doesn’t make you elite.

Someone who thinks they know everything really doesn’t know much.

Do elites not have any emotions?

I am so tired of fearful people.

If you want to have 14 mansions, go for it.

But quit worrying about everyone else and how you are so smart that you can fix it.

That is delusional.

The elites would like to get rations for their drivers, security, housekeepers and gardeners. Then they will seize these employees’ rations for themselves.

The only power people like that have is the power ceded to them by the people they look down upon. Their entire existence is predicated on the fabric of society and civilization.

When any society stops being an environment that allows people to live with dignity, to self-determine, and to aspire and work towards a better life for them and their loved ones, it loses credibility. When that happens all bets are off, and the ‘elites’ become a target. No one continues to play a pyramid game after it has become clear that it cannot and will not ever pay off for them.

The supporters at the bottom of this environmental madness are ignorant fools with little scientific skill, but they are believers. Those at the top are power hungry Marxists. Many do have scientific skills and they lie.

Just stack them in empty fields, like cordwood — maggots and buzzards gotta eat, too.

Not for them of course. Rationing food should be for the useless air-breathers in order to make sure there is plenty for the Davos-type elites.

Who are these “elites” and why are they elite?

Poison Ivy League graduates.

Also Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell, et al.

Because they graduated.

Here is my advice to anyone who feels the need to discuss "global warming" or any of that other "climate change" bullsh*t.

Point out that *CHINA* and *INDIA* are causing 90% of the problem, and demand that they denounce China and India.

Most liberals will balk at this, but you need to force the conversation to be about China burning massive amounts of coal and causing the vast majority of C02 emissions.

Force Liberals to blame China and India, and watch them shut up about the issue.

They don't want to touch that. That's why you need to make them focus on it.

The 40% who did not buy into the typical commie crappola need to ID themselves.
