Meanwhile China will be eating their and our lunch for
decades to come, as it thumbs its nose at any climate
mandates for it.

I doubt there will be any since it’s a Communist run
nation.

Yeah. This could break up the EU. And of course it would be physically impossible to sustain any kind of living standards if they so much as try to do all this. A few rolling blackouts and grid collapses in the middle of winter will kill the buzz, hopefully for good.

“Sweeping” is one of the left’s favorite media terms. They used to use “broad” also until the AP deemed it sexist.

Carbon neutral - they’ll be wearing grass skirts. Goodbye synthetic tennis shoes, synthetic clothing, automobile tires, ... the list is extensive for products made from oil. Can a windmill create most modern products? Idiots! Meanwhile, China pollutes the world and no one cares.

Yup. The EU is yesterday’s notion. A rabble of has been countries with no future on the planet. Yes, things are bad, really bad in the USA, but Europe is already extinct they just don’t know it yet.

Any work from home job can be done from most anywhere on Earth, as well as shopping, recreation, socializing. There are many countries to choose from, all with pluses and minuses. Most people will choose a country without socialism, or recovering from it. Additional pluses: few annoying minorities or masculinist women.
