Mass action has to be a little more imaginative.

Capitalists aren't as bright as ppl think. Most are trapped in infinite loops they don't have the creativity or sense to exit.

We saw during COVID companies and supply chains collapsing just cause demand for x y or z dropped off over night.

That's all it takes - targeting demand of one product globally and forcing them out of their loops.

"Capitalists aren't as bright as ppl think." As opposed to communists? Those paragons of intelligence?

Funny how the solution to climate change (and covid, and inflation..) is always strict top-down control. Just eliminate demand, no mention of the coercion needed to make that happen. Always the same solution, by the same people.

Makes me extremely skeptical of the whole climate change enterprise.
