You see ? that IS the point, there is none, and that's the goal, no real alternative, no industrial production, no economic activity, no cars, no truck to move people and goods around, no home heating fuel, no plastics, less modern conveniences, that IS their end game.

Hope everyone like riding mass transit, riding on a buss with gangsta thug crack addicts and welfare moms.
