The author needs 30 days on a farm, and then another month in a big rig.

The author really needs thirty days living in some third world slum like Bangladesh or Chad. Drinking dirty water. Living on a near starvation diet with absolutely no medicine. Living without electricity or transportation. And only being able to cook food using animal dung as fuel.

A similar mobilization will be necessary for the US to decarbonize its economy fast enough to avert the worst of climate change.

Of this I have no doubt. I also have no doubt this effort would not be sufficient.

Am I the only person who notices this indifference for the lives of others? They propose to turn all of us into slaves to construct their modern, woke version of the pyramids.

Why we need really high import tariff and the USA would be self sufficient very quickly - again.

Oh, geez. There you go again.

Is there any ill tariffs won't cure? The ***Heartbreak of Psoriasis?*** Bad breath?

Tariffs are very popular in the rest of the world. Only the USA has domestic Free Traitors™.

Decarbonize? So no fossil fuel vehicles........who is gonna pay for all those electric cars and how are the batteries made? where does the electricity come from? how is the grid going to handle the lode? What about lawn mowers and tractors, leaf blowers? Are we talking natural gas too?

I think the title should be HOW TO DRIVE THE US BACK INTO THE DARK AGES AND INSURE CHINA'S DOMINANCE BY 2035
