>The solution is collective action through government at all levels.
Government intervention is great when it works.
There are two issues.
This gives the government too much power to make unilateral decisions.
These decisions are not always going to be the right one.
And the government is not always going to be ideologically aligned with what you believe.
>What makes you think it is up to every individual with a six months savings cushion to move across the planet to a foreign land so they can marginally impact their consumption?
You have just advocated for government action at all levels.
What makes you think the 'government' is not going to relocate people at a whim given enough power?
History is full of examples where this has happened, sometimes because of direct government action, sometimes indirect.

- unethical_ban 3y agoGotta love these takes that think "government regulations on massive corporations destroying the planet means I'll be monitored for my maple syrup intake". Next you're gonna equate the 17th amendment with Prima Nocta.
- rs999gti 3y agoThis is not regulations on only companies. Posters are also proposing regulating consumer demand and market offerings. Central planning and control is the only way to get that done.
