For most people old enough to remember, the first thing you associate with the word “rationing” is WWII and ration books in the UK.
Back then, nearly all everyday food and drink items were on ration. Meaning you were only allowed so much of any one thing per day per person. This was meant to make sure the nation as a whole could provide for itself during those uncertain times with food distribution throughout the country constantly under threat.
Jump forward some 80 odd years, and the subject of rationing has been raised again, but this time in the context of climate change and damaging the planet through our avaricious and harmful materialism.
“Experts” and other assorted cunts who have nothing better to do other than to jump on this well worn bandwagon, have suggested we all need to cut back on our food, drink, clothing, domestic energy, travel etc – all the usual triggers in fact. But in order to make this affective they’re suggesting a carrot and stick approach by means of a form of social credit system, but this time based on your carbon footprint/emissions.
Make sacrifices on one hand (i.e. reduce your dependency on petrol cars, flights abroad, gas central heating etc) and in the other hand, you’ll earn carbon credits that can be put towards cleaner sources of energy such as cheaper energy bills and reduced fares on public transport.
They’ve even considered a Carbon Tax to be slapped on those same goods and services, in order to force people (the plebs) away from cheap products and fast food (all of which are killing the planet apparently) and onto cleaner more healthier options.
They say rationing should be introduced gradually by reducing the dependency on those products we take for granted – intensive farming, petrol cars, plastics, travelling abroad. By gradually weaning people off these things it will mean reduced demand as people move to greener alternatives. But it all hinges on a government willing to put these words into actions.
Therefore, beware that rationing may be on its way in one form or another. But we have to save Greta’s future somehow, therefore we must make greater sacrifices in order to achieve it!
