There is also an argument that we should have fewer electronics too…

  It is very interesting how if there was a genuine attempt at degrowth this is potentially a good start.

    It sure is funny how the party that has spent 2 decades screaming at anyone they could that "climate change isn't real" and "the people saying we should output less carbon are REALLY just degrowth cultists and we can consume everything forever with no issues" are outright, willfully, destroying the American economy in such a way that average americans WILL have to consume less

  Too bad that’s not the argument being made by people pushing the current policies, instead of the idea that this will magically lead to us having more and better things.

  I don't think so. There is an argument for -individuals- buying too much electronics and they should revisit that, but it's not anyone's business other those people. Tanking the economy and destroying lives "just becuz consumers" is a really really bad way to run the country. Just giving back and going back to horse and buggy while China eats your lunch is not a good thing, because soon you will be making "cheap trinkets" for them
