Time for us to start to consider rationing as the primary means to combat climate change.

Think about it. Sooner or later this is going to happen. Good read on it.

1. We couldn't even get people to wear masks to keep from killing their friends and families.

I can just imagine how well rationing would go over with the Trumpers.

2. I just wanna see them hafta eat their veggies.

3. They'd get healthier and we'd cut down on health care costs.

Two birds with one stone.

8. It would be fairer.

It was during WW2.

Hunger actually went down.

9. That has occurred to me as well. The advantage of rationing is that it would be fair because

everybody, regardless of their wealth, would be restricted to a limited use of resources that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. But that's exactly why Republicans fight so hard against the idea of dealing with climate change. They would hate any mandated restriction on the use of resources. Just as they hated the COVID mask-wearing and vaccination mandates. They just can't comprehend the concept of doing anything they don't want to just to insure a better future for the human race. They label it "Marxism" and that's that.
