We are already paying those higher prices. We’re just paying a lot of it in economically inefficient ways, though damage to the ecosystem and to people’s health. Getting people to pay for them with money would be better.
- MR4D 7y agoI agree, but the timescale has to be over decades. People don’t adjust that quickly.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoWe don’t have the time. Anyway the response to WW2 shows we can adjust quickly to change.
- MR4D 7y agoDo you mean 20+ million dead and total destruction of several countries? Saying we “adjusted” after that is disingenuous to say the least.
- mikeash 7y agoI imagine they’re referring to the complete retooling of the US economy for war production.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI think your interpretation of what I said is disingenuous.
