    Ask LA how that’s working out for their water situation! Quantitative easing is such a bunk solution. Just paying people to stop causing problems. It’s essentially bribery.

    So yeah that’s definitely what they’ll do. Tax everyone and then pay the oil companies to stop making oil. But then they’ll make oil anyway because there won’t be any legal reprecussion for taking the money and running

      I think it definitely is bribery. I almost appreciate it in that sense, because it acknowledges the blatant class conflict at play instead of papering over it. Paying the bourgeoisie so they fuck off and stop killing us. Best paired with a 100% inheritance tax so the money comes back in 30 years. I agree enforcement is an issue.
