The economy is already massively skewed against low income people; they’re already “gouged” in a dozen other ways. The solution for that is UBI, not giving up on the environment.
- vorpalhex 7y agoOh, very practical, so we'll just gouge them until we get UBI sorted then?
- sjwright 7y agoThere are countless ways to improve the situation for the poor from being gouged in countless other ways. Telling the environment to fuck off isn’t among the more sensible ones.
- vorpalhex 7y agoYou flipped the consequent. I'm not suggesting we should tell the environment off, I'm suggesting we shouldn't solve our issues by charging the poor a 1000% markup they can't afford. I also think it's unethical to fix world hunger by eating children for what it's worth, as convenient as that might be.
