Yes, that’s the plan from the start, to reduce population living standards. It’s Green policy worldwide. You didn’t know?

  It’s worse than that! It’s anti-poor. Every major “green” law affects the poor more than any other group. Single use plastic utensils ban? It isn’t the rich needing to eat on the go! Punitive personal transport tax? The poor will need to rely even more on unreliable public transportation. Reliance on renewable energy sources? More expensive electricity. And so much more. Covid only exacerbated this gap, in every dimension from education to international travel. And the normalization of it will only make it harder for things to return to pre-covid normal.

    > Single use plastic utensils ban? It isn’t the rich needing to eat on the go! On the contrary, the truly poor people can't afford to eat on the go, but rather cook at home. If you can afford to pay someone else to cook for you on a regular basis, you're not doing that bad.

    The cost of renewable energy hasn't exploded recently. It's the fossil fuels that are expensive and unreliable today.
