Cult Crazy: Almost 40% Would Be Up For WWII Style Rationing

Well, if they keep backing leftist politicians they will get WWIII style rationing

Almost 40% would agree to WW2-style RATIONING to fight climate change

After the end of World War II, it took Britain almost a decade to finally abolish rationing for everyday goods.

While the war may be almost 80 years in the past, nearly 40 per cent of the public would now welcome back the ration book to help fight climate change.

Researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden, surveyed almost 9,000 participants from India, Brazil, Germany, and the US.

Their responses revealed that rationing for fuel and ’emissions-intensive’ products such as meat is nearly as widely accepted as raising taxes.

Lead author Oskar Lindgren, a PhD student at Uppsala University, says: ‘Rationing may seem dramatic, but so is climate change. This may explain why support is rather high.’

Weirdly, all those who believe in this aren’t actually reducing their own consumption voluntarily.

Currently, most governments and researchers focus on ‘economic instruments’ like taxing polluting products and subsidising greener alternatives.

However, scientists believe that a fairer alternative might be to limit how much of these goods can be bought.

Mr Lindgren says: ‘One advantage of rationing is that it can be perceived as fair, if made independent of income.’

And who would be in charge of this? Government? Sounds rather authoritarian. Rationing was rather forced on nations during WWII due to shortages, especially in a nation like Britain. They really didn’t have much of a choice. And does anyone think that the Elites would be subjected to the same rationing? How many politicians yammer about reducing the use of fossil fuels, yet, use way more than everyone else?

Overall, 38 per cent of respondents said they would accept monthly limits on fuel purchasing compared with 39 per cent who said they would accept greater fuel taxes.

Likewise, 33 per cent of people said they would support monthly limits on meat purchases compared with 44 per cent who said they would back a greater tax on high climate-impact foods.

This is all theoretical. The minute government started putting this in action there would be a revolt. At least in the 1st World, and, especially here in the U.S.A.
