Public transportation in my neck of the woods is available, but it’s very inconvenient. So I don’t use it. But I sure don’t want to upset Ms. Ghilarducci. So I guess I’ll have to figure out a way to earn at least $300,000 per year.

Did you see the ratio Bloomberg just earned for a tweet which recommends getting used to lentils instead of meat, switching to public transportation, and avoiding buying things in bulk?(This article is linked below)
The piece, written by economist Teresa Ghilarducci, recommends that families earning under $300,000 per year consider switching to public transportation, embracing a veggie diet, and “rethink those costly pet medical needs.”
The intellectual heavyweight oddly retweeted someone slamming her advice.
Which is being parodied throughout social media…

Unsurprisingly, Ghilarducci and the far-left “New School for Social Research” she works for is affiliated with the World Economic Forum (WEF) – which, in addition to bragging about having ‘infiltrated‘ various world governments – infamously suggested that people get used to eating bugs due to inevitable food shortages, and
Yes, this WEF:
Which brings us to the WEF’s latest – warning of an impending food crisis kicked off by the war in Ukraine.
Key points:
More people around the world will go hungry as a result of the pandemic, high fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are also major producers and suppliers of fertilizers and their raw materials. Existing logistical issues with moving grain and food are likely to worsen. Disruptions will put further pressure on this year’s harvest and lead to higher food prices. Even before the pandemic, the FAO estimated that 690 million people or 9% of the world’s population, were facing food insecurity.
In short, the Ukraine war is accelerating the existing problem of inflation and food shortages, so hold on to your hats and consider a ‘more sustainable diet’ because things are about to get much, much worse.
We are currently witnessing the beginning of a global food crisis, driven by the knock-on effects of a pandemic and more recently the rise in fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine. There were already clear logistical issues with moving grain and food around the globe, which will now be considerably worse as a result of the war. But a more subtle relationship sits with the link to the nutrients needed to drive high crop yields and quality worldwide.
…
In this context, calling for an immediate government intervention to the market is therefore the natural thing to do. Yet government budgets are severely stretched after COVID, leaving little room for direct monetary support and contribution. In view of the recent promises to remove all Russian oil and gas from our imports, there will be some tough decisions ahead for governments, farmers and consumers alike.
In the medium term, it highlights the need to transform our food system, using more green energy. We should also be encouraging more sustainable diets, which contain fewer grain fed animal products; and regenerative agricultural practices, which improve soil health and the efficiency of nutrient use by the crop. -WEF
So… eat the bugs and be happy?
Professor: Americans Should Eat Lentils & Let Their Pets Die To Cope With Inflation
Given the lying and manipulation we’ve experienced in the open, in the last 5 years, it’s hard not to buy into conspiracies.
There is the Bloomberg article about how to economize in shortages. There was an article at military.com about when martial law was used in the US. In the past Klaus Schwab said the economic system had to be totally crashed in order to go to an all digital, more controllable system. Add in the constant warnings about cyber attacks from Russia.
It makes a case that the globalists are getting ready to pull the plug on the system.
I’d have a more sustainable diet but in CA they won’t let us have lawns anymore.
Get ready America, everybody is going on a diet. Thanks to Biden and the Dems, food stamps will have to be issued to keep controlled starvation equitable. Your dead pet will become a homemade food source, so start fattening them up. Don’t throw away old furniture because it will be a fuel source to cook your pet with.
“Soylent Green is Insects.”
We need to declare this WEF a terrorist organization.
Terrorism doesn’t have to be just bombs & shootings.

President Trump: “Make America great again!”
Resident Biden: “Make America a third world banana republic.”
If you believe there’s a massive food shortage, and you believe the gubment ought to keep paying farmers to avoid growing food ... you might be a Democrat. LOL
“In this context, calling for an immediate government intervention to the market is therefore the natural thing to do.”
THERE’s your problem right there, Lady...
“Just stop being poor”
Soylent Green = Soy and Lentil
Who would have guessed.
The unnecessary Rooskie [/Victoria Nuland] War...
Soylent Green
What a great movie. I still remember the scene when Charlton Heston presents Edward G Robinson with a steak... to gasps of wonder.
And here we are today, with prime beef going for $45 a pound.
Sadly. it was Edward G Robinson’s last film.
“embracing a veggie diet”
The mass media will create a propaganda campaign claiming that Soylent Green is veggies—and a bunch of folks around here will fall for it.
Exactly.
Does the World Economic Forum have any power besides having another German that wants to take over the world ?
“’More SUSTAINABLE Diets’”
I’ve used that EXACT term trolling the left on other sites, telling them that we’re taking away their meat.
Bottom line: Time to invest in a VERY LARGE freezer, and do it before they start taking those away too (and they actually use very little power).
In my neck of the woods, there is no public transportation.
