The cost in dollars would go up significantly. The cost in dollars plus inflicted externalities would remain constant-ish, implementation failures notwithstanding.
- dgzl 7y agoThat cost in dollars could be enough to sink the middle class and everything under it.
- ezrast 7y agoThen the cost in externalities would do the same. That's the whole point of pricing in externalities: if the paper packaging becomes cheaper after you do it, that's because the plastic packaging actually is worse for the would-be dollar-saving population in the long run. Doing the pricing accurately relies on a bunch of projections we don't have, of course, but we can certainly do better than calling it all zero.
