Finally, it has become clear. The apparent dichotomy of politicians getting elected in a capitalist-economy republic, who then appear to advocate and pass legislation that does severe damage to the economy as a whole and the to the economic freedom of voters, is actually completely logical, and not anti-capitalist in the slightest.
It’s a little brutal in terms of making economic, capitalist decisions, but one expects little less from avowed socialists. Unfortunately, American class socialists are about as aware of socialism’s impacts on people and history as, well… a crowd of fire hydrants. Plus, it turns out, they ACT just like capitalists. Funny.
Anyway, the “Green New Deal” has gained traction on the basis of saving the planet from, in order of importance, Republicans, industrialists, oil companies, gas companies, airplane companies, airlines, plastics manufacturers, Christians and most white people. Maybe.
Still the “Greens” are no longer small creatures from other planets, and they are very concerned about methane as a dangerous “greenhouse gas.” Along with decaying vegetation and white people, drilling for natural gas and normal releases of gas from Mother Earth, who makes oil and gas through tectonic subductions, which will be dealt with in legislation any day, now, cows… beef, dairy and sacred cows, are dangerous sources of methane! Farts! If we’d stop eating beef, cheese or drinking milk, we could stop raising cows and eliminate all that farting. Farts are destroying the planet! They certainly spoil a lot of social events and even some sexual activity, so you know what we’re talking about, only they also threaten the polar ice caps and cause polar bears to swim too much. (Secret news: Bears fart.)
Well, not to worry. The supposed socialists and communists who are opposed to cows and other Republican fart-generators, are simply playing the commodities market. The intention is beautifully capitalist: they are cornering the market on bullshit! Phew! Simple.
