Why would they put that in place?

2019-05-30 20:52:55 UTC  

>carbon tax lmao

2019-05-30 20:52:57 UTC  

You mean the tax with so many exemptions?

2019-05-30 20:53:17 UTC  

You do realize you can trade your carbon taxes around

2019-05-30 20:53:26 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:53:38 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:54:45 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:54:46 UTC  

GG @lemonsaw, you just advanced to level 10!

2019-05-30 20:54:49 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:54:52 UTC  

pass the tax onto their consumers

2019-05-30 20:54:53 UTC  

the poor people

2019-05-30 20:55:01 UTC  

It's like trying to raise the minimum wage

2019-05-30 20:55:08 UTC  

The rich will just find a way to cut their losses

2019-05-30 20:55:14 UTC  

even if that's to hurt the poor people

2019-05-30 20:55:21 UTC  

Minimum wage is stupid

2019-05-30 20:55:30 UTC  

Same as a carbon tax

2019-05-30 20:55:37 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:55:41 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:55:52 UTC  

Learn skills and get paid more

2019-05-30 20:56:22 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:56:34 UTC  

more like companies that produce more carbon

2019-05-30 20:56:39 UTC  

will just gain the same advantage

2019-05-30 20:56:42 UTC  

by taxing their consumers

2019-05-30 20:56:48 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:56:53 UTC  

now it'll be $1.50 milk

2019-05-30 20:57:01 UTC  

thanks carbon tax

2019-05-30 20:57:09 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:57:19 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:57:25 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 20:57:35 UTC  

And he says I'm disconnected from reality

2019-05-30 20:57:50 UTC  

Produce milk by polluting less

2019-05-30 20:57:58 UTC  

>produce milk by polluting less

2019-05-30 20:58:04 UTC  

I guess we can put more horomones in the cow

2019-05-30 20:58:06 UTC  

for them to produce more milk

2019-05-30 20:58:11 UTC  

therefore less co-

2019-05-30 20:58:12 UTC  

OH W AIT

2019-05-30 20:58:19 UTC  

THAT'S AGAINST THE LAW AND REGULATIONS

2019-05-30 20:58:21 UTC  

YOU CANT DO THAT

2019-05-30 20:58:24 UTC  

lol

2019-05-30 20:58:33 UTC  

Carbon tax isn't against milk

2019-05-30 20:58:34 UTC  

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