So, the govt wants people spending money. So they can make more money. Like from taxes on carbon? You know, so we can fight "global warm....", oh, sorry, "climate change"? And say, does not this vaunted fight against "climate change" not give that those same govt an argument to control pretty much everything? Why yes it does.
Lefties in Govt, starting in Europe, are the ones driving this. That you don't know this is absolutely the best thing ever. I love the free entertainment you provide on a daily basis on these boards.
