You knew they would try to pivot off the draconian COVID policies and use climate change as the pretext to deploy the same rigid controls over our lives. Now, perhaps a trial balloon is being floated for a “climate lockdown.”
The noxious idea is that we are at (yet another) tipping point, and that unless government radically seizes centralized control of the economy, it will be shutdown time. From, “Avoiding a Climate Lockdown,” by Mariana Mazzucato, Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose:
Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently....

Yes. It’s for your own good so you don’t kill grandma or your relatives who won’t be born until 50 years hence (if they aren’t aborted as is quite possible)
“You just can’t have any fuel for it.”
Oh, we can have fuel, but as Obama said...”It’s just that it will bankrupt them...”
That is why we have the Second Amendment. At some point one would need to ask, “Am I willing to live under these rules?” If not, then it becomes time to fight.
I am right on that razor edge.
No more live concerts. SAVE THE PLANET!!!

Not only that. Mad Marxist Maxine Waters has already told Big Oil that she would nationalize/socialize the oil industry.
Said as every day hundreds of millions of Americans are forced to wear disposable gloves, disposable masks, and use disposable bottles of hand gel.
That garbage pile isn’t getting any lower and we aren’t anywhere near getting off of petroleum products.

Obama Says He Will Control Your Thermostat, “We can’t drive our SUVs”...

obama oregon May 17 2008 “We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership. ~ Barack Obama
This sounds crazy BUT watching how easily people surrendered their rights with this Chinese virus, nothing is off the table...

This my beef with the Archdiocese of St Paul/Minneapolis. The bishop just rolled over and closed the churches. Denied us our Bread of Life, and our Constitutional rights out of “concern for others”.
These intelligent, ordained and lawyer priests, rolled over w/o any demands or qualifiers. Pathetic.
The coroncaust isn’t enough for them. The highway-to-hell reprobates around Lot’s house want more, more, more!

Numbers look so good in MN and the state is desperate for more covid. They have started testing the sewers, looking for covid.
This morning as I walked into Weight Watchers as a woman was walking out, I smiled at her and she said MASK. I replied that I am a person, not a mask. People don’t see me as a person, I am non-compliant per the Governor’s Mask Mandate.
The guy is still a menace.
Yes, trust the plan, trust the science. Neither is real. Newsom is the great dem hope for 2024 and he’ll kill a whole lot to prove it.
“.the golf courses will remain green though, for the rich...”
I do hope that California will enact and enforce a radical Climate Plan. Then Newsom can run for President on the rotting ruin of the State he governed. I don’t feel bad for the people who live there. By now it is by choice. If Democrat totalitarian politics is worth living with in order to enjoy the scenery and the climate then good for them. Let them enjoy it all.
You can count on it. It is a lock.
