A comment on What if carbon removal becomes the new Big Oil?. Parent comment
I’d rather we could earmark our tax payments.
I wouldn’t send anything to any department involved in trampling basic human rights. I also wouldn’t pay a cent to oil or corn subsidies.
In such a system, I imagine Amtrak and the department of education would be getting 10x more than they do now.
Similarly, I suspect the US would be carbon negative in a few years.
The supreme court ruled money is speech, so I argue that not letting me earmark my payments is suppressing my speech.
