The big story of the modern world is not inequality, which has declined even in purely financial terms since the days of dukes with 800-year-old names. The big story is Clark’s “equality of genuine comfort.”--McCloskey on how the poor gain more than the rich in a richer society

Wearing Sunglasses at the Abyss


Sometimes the harebrained escapes the dismissal of thoughtful, scornful, disbelief.

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”

C40’s goals can be found in its “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Bloomberg is no fool so his association with this dilutes the insane impression of the idea. And so often these wildly destructive notions are presented as foggy, intellectual, good-hearted but unachievable wishes. But look at the implication here. No farming, no manufacturing or retail, no travel. This is Blade Runner stuff.

This type of devastating social change is compatible with war or plague. And this is desired. This is the Plan.

Somehow these horrific scenes never attract scrutiny or reflection.
