I’ve been hearing that “they” want us to eat insects and I’ve always wondered if it’s some dystopian capitalism type of thing where the rich will get to eat whatever they like, but the working class will have to eat insects.

    If a government raises taxes for something so that working class people cannot buy it, that government becomes richer by exploiting the working class.

    1. If the working class cannot buy it, then they are not getting taxed. If the government is making more money from implementing that taxation scheme, then all that money has to come from those who are wealthier than the working class.
    2. You only become richer if you hold on to the money. The government’s job is to spend that money to the benefit of its constituents, not hoard money.

    In the past there have been ice ages while the atmospheric CO2 level was 10 times higher than it is now.

    Implying we want another ice age?

    The notion that eating insects will save the world seems a little dubious.

    I agree
