There is no climate crisis.

I cordially invite those proposing rationing to go first. Show us how its done - starting particularly with the wealthy who advocate this. Reduce your standard of living dramatically.

Then we can talk.

They will fly around in their private jets to implement rationing.

“n HBO’s The Last of Us—where humanity has been decimated by a fungal infection that turns people into violent meat sacs”

I call it BS, as there ain’t no fungi going to turn me into a Feminist.

“The Climate Case for Rationing”

I’m CONVINCED this is one of the main reasons for wanting the Ukraine War, as the end game is taking out the Russian government and replacing it with a US puppet (as all of Europe is now), and then taking out the Chinese government and doing the same.

The reason I’m convinced of this is because it will be IMPOSSIBLE to impose any of this climate shit on either Russia or China, as long as they are free to make their own decisions...that simple. And if the West goes it alone with its 12% or so of the world’s population, the 88%, which still has heating and cars, will simply LAUGH AT US.

So the question now is how important is this to the Biden Administration (and the Ukraine Cheerleaders for that matter)? Is it REALLY world WW3 to achieve this goal? Because neither Russia nor China is about to go down and become slaves to us without first setting off a few firecrackers over US cities.

Communist Socialist creeps looooove to ration. For decades in Nicaragua the farmers and ranchers would bring their crops to the Farmers Markets. In small towns and large cities farmers brought their products to sell and barter. There was more than enough. They day after the commies took power, No Farmers Markets were allowed. All of the food was now classified as the ‘people’s’ food. Rationing came soon after. Anyone caught with more than their allotment was labeled as a hoarder, keeping food from women, children, and the elderly (sound familiar?). Farmers who tried to store their crops for lean years were jailed.

Now a new paper proposes rationing as one policy option to deal with another less-than-ideal situation: the climate crisis

Never let a crisis go to waste.

If there is no crisis, create one.

Climate crisis is a creation of the radical left, which will get its way one way or another.

When a crisis is created out of thin air, then, there is absolutely no crisis.

The rationale for rationing is to take advantage of scarcity as a tool to control consumption. All this consuming means the population of any one region may in fact have what is recognized as a higher standard of living and greater prosperity, which creates jealousies in surrounding region where consumption is restricted.

Jealousy and envy between regions is what brings on war, and war creates its own form of rationing, by destroying whatever surpluses have been built up. So, why not ration up front and PREVENT the war?

To state the proposition is to demonstrate its absurdity.

They really do want a revolt.
And they are doing a d*mned good job of making it happen.
And we will be ready to surround each and every home of ther politicians to make sure that THEY COMPLY with any of their silly rules. We’ll see how long they can keep it up.

And they can forget about coming out of their houses.

Ever.

It’s all about control. If you don’t tow the line on whatever the government says no soup for you. Imagine having to get a government permit to travel anywhere, the government controlling your thermostat and rationing your healthcare. Too old too sick it’s euthanasia for you comrade.
