Oof

What about carbon tax? @Techpriest

That's affecting the rich companies

Why would they put that in place?

>carbon tax lmao

You mean the tax with so many exemptions?

You do realize you can trade your carbon taxes around

"hey this company I OWN isnt producing any carbon at all"

"lets just sell the rebate to other companies that I OWN that can use it"

Just because it has some flaws, which I haven't even heard of, doesn't mean it doesn't affect the rich

GG @lemonsaw, you just advanced to level 10!

Not to mention the companies that can't be bothered to pay the carbon tax

pass the tax onto their consumers

the poor people

It's like trying to raise the minimum wage

The rich will just find a way to cut their losses

even if that's to hurt the poor people

Minimum wage is stupid

Same as a carbon tax

The poor people will just pay the company's carbon tax

If your labor isn't worth anything, you're not going to get paid

Learn skills and get paid more

The point is that companies which produce less carbon will be advantaged in the free market

more like companies that produce more carbon

will just gain the same advantage

by taxing their consumers

i guess walmart won't be able to offer $1 milk

now it'll be $1.50 milk

thanks carbon tax

And then a company can try to develop a way to make milk without polluting

"will try to develop a way to make milk without polluting"

And if they are successful they will be rewarded by the free market

And he says I'm disconnected from reality

Produce milk by polluting less

>produce milk by polluting less

I guess we can put more horomones in the cow

for them to produce more milk

therefore less co-

OH W AIT

THAT'S AGAINST THE LAW AND REGULATIONS

YOU CANT DO THAT

lol

Carbon tax isn't against milk

You can't put this hormone in the cow's feeder to make more milk!

Carbon tax is against the poor people

No

I would rather support a communist than an eco-fascist

Not everything is about poor vs rich

>not everything is about the access of resources

?

The poor vs rich is simplified about who get access to certain resources

Sure

and it's clear that the rich get access to all these nice benefits

while the poor pay for it

Yeah too bad for the poor

"oh cool my tesla gets a $5k tax rebate?" 🆒

If it's the price to pay to stop climate change

yeah if we kill the poor people now

there won't be any climate change damage to kill the poor in the future

perfect reasoning

???

All these climate change regulations only hurt the poor people

Hurt them to the point that they have living paycheck to paycheck

Talk about a slippery slope here

Talk about a lack of humanity

The poor are the 99%

But let's fuck the 99%

and suck the 1%'s dick

they're clearly doing their part in preventing global warming

Ok let me ask you a question

Do you make over 50k a year?

nope

Are you close?

nope

How lol

You working at mcdonald?

because I live in the state of California

where government jobs are literally minimum wage

can afford to hire 500k people

but can't afford to hire them at a reasonable salary

<:kek:538084230408830987>

Yikes

what's your job

Social Services

Yeah it's because it's useless

I handle processing for the poor's Social Security, Medicare, MediCal(Medicaid)

right

Free market talks

You're not useful enough to society

free market talks that the gap between the rich and poor is big enough

that they are using climate change to manipulate the public

to do their "part"

The rich do not bother to do their part and instead buy nice luxury cars and get rewarded for it

You do realise you're probably in the top 5% of the world?

while we the American public have to pay for their lifestyle

What are you doing to help the poor africans?

buying their shirts and pants

unlike bill gates

who literally impoverishes them on purpose

Where did I mention bill gates
