It is disappointing how unaware many urbanites are of the realities of life in rural areas. After the travel restrictions are lifted we would do well to get out of our bubbles and see firsthand how others live. That could help reduce the current political and cultural divides.
What's really disappointing is the degree to which we subsidize the incredible climate costs of non-urban people. When the carbon taxes are finally required, rural Americans will learn just how much they've been externalizing.
Our food will be more expensive and it should be but all those other parts of rural living are just this horrendous climate abuse.
EDIT: Oops, I mean the costs should be baked in. Obviously governments should provide food aid.
So let me get this straight: You want food to be more expensive when we already have families that struggle to put food on the table (see recent worries about closing schools affecting access to the food they provide)?
Urban populations have their own fair share of climate related problems.
Sounds to me like you just want people to starve in order to solve your precious climate ‘crisis’.
