The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: LOL@u. The cnn article lays it out.
The idea of a carbon passport centers on each traveler being assigned a yearly carbon allowance that they cannot exceed. These allowances can then “ration” travel.


There is no carbon passport center. There are no carbon allowances. There is no proposed rationing now or ever.

Jesus, I gave you a direct quote from the article in Business Insider that the nitwit EndWokeness said was a done deal, a Big Government overreach.

EndWorkeness wrote: Carbon passports are coming. You will own nothing, travel nowhere, and be an obedient slave to the overlords.

The article in Business Week clearly states that carbon passports are not coming, and the idea was the brainchild of a company called The Future Laboratory to be used as a scare tactic: The Future Laboratory "mapped out the concept as a provocation to say that if we aren't taking decisive action against the climate crisis, we are going to potentially see our freedoms curbed in different ways."

And you believed it because you read it on Twitter.

Dope1: Struck a nerve on that, eh, ChatNPC?

You brought us a lie and got caught on it and you're blaming me?

Gotta' love the Trump Cult. You guys have been assimilated.

LurkerMom: Thank goodness I don’t live in big liberal city anymore where you are indoctrinated not to think for yourself or forced to follow the WOKE code...

Oh sweet Jesus, the tragic irony of the cult "thinkers".
