NYC Mayor Vows To Cut Carbon Emissions by ‘Severely Limiting Food’

What I always say is if you can't win then lose!

This is the “riches to rags” principle known as “equity”...

May I revise... This is the 'riches to rags' principle known as communist socialism... it is NOT in the righteous peoples DNA...

 

[Eph611]

Yep, this exactly. I'm in the mortgage biz and it's just so frustrating.

I feel blessed that we are past the mortgage years. On the other hand, I worry about what the corruptocrats will cough up to mess with us.

This administration has no shame. If it gets what it wants, we will see 2008 again. Remember “subprime” mortgages? Many new homeowners didn’t even have to document their income. Result: Housing market collapse due to massive foreclosures. Mortgages are a routine part of “bundles” of investments bought by investors. The failed mortgages ruined bundles worldwide, causing America to have to borrow billions in bailout money to give to companies that insure stupid greedy investors after they cause a global collapse.
Now Biden wants to raise origination fees and mortgage interest rates for higher income people to cover these things that the “poor” struggle to pay. Call it reparations, call it higher taxes, call it what you want. If this socialist disaster passes, look for a collapse sooner than you expected and worse than you imagined. Public housing will be the new American dream.

I was just talking about this. Joey wants to use my and your good credit rating to penalize us to help people who have no idea how to keep up mortgage payments and maintenance or keep the taxes paid. The people did not seem to incur any problems from their colossal failures. They just let the lending institutions keep the house. But everybody else that was applying for a loan had to jump through 29 more hoops. Once again the folks doing the right thing are punished. This is exactly BHO 2.0 from 2008. Unbelievable they keep trying what has failed famously.

Lord wouldn’t this be a great day for the rapture?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has vowed to severely limit the amount of food households will be allowed to purchase as part of an effort to cut carbon emissions. According to reports, Mayor Adams and Mayor’s Office of Food Policy (MOFP) Executive Director Kate MacKenzie will reduce absolute carbon emissions from food purchases across its city agencies by 33 percent by 2030.

Frontpagemag.com reports: Just wait until they do an inventory of carbon emissions based on population and announce that they’re cutting the population by 33% by 2030. If you don’t think it’s coming, look to the history of the Left.

If you think that this is just going to affect public school students and patients in hospitals, you’ve got another thing coming.

Mandates will come to restaurants and then grocery stores. Food accused of carbon emissions will be taxed appropriately.

First, they’ll starve the elderly though. It always seems to start with children, the sick and the elderly. Probably because they’re the most vulnerable.

That ought to make few thousand more get out of Dodge and move to a red state. This is sick stuff people.

Has NYC become a prison? How does some bureaucrat decide what you get to eat and how much. Someone should get photos of the mayor eating a big meal in an expensive restaurant and plaster it on billboards with a quote of his proposal.

Wasn't it NYC that banned a big slurpee or a big soda??
Crazy! Some people buy a huge drink and sip on it all day.

It was Mayor Bloomberg who banned large sodas. The current Mayor I believe is a vegan, and was trying to impress his diet upon others. Not sure but I think he was trying to get a day where there was a vegan lunch day in schools. How about a higher standards day, and make that every day.

 

[Carl]

Has the good mayor said how he is going to measure any success that his actions take? Or will he just look at New York city and measure the climate changes there?

Well like it says in Rom 14:2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. (NASB)

How big the garbage piles are, or tonnage hauled by the garbage trucks.

Of course, a sanitation workers' strike would be a big, fat, stinking confounding variable

Organic! Or at least non-GMO. And no soy.

Maybe offer an organic salad bar with really, really fresh veggies, fresh fruit, unsalted roasted and unroasted tree nuts, no-rBST cheeses, pasture-raised hard boiled eggs, etc., etc., etc. Organic olive oil, vinegar, fresh lemon wedges, and herbs, too. Fresh, scratch-made organic salsa and salad dressings. No salty, sugary, additive-laden, soy-based salad "dressing"

If the Mayor wants to have vegan in the schools, it could be an offered choice, just like fish used to be one of the choices every Friday when I was growing up (IDK if they still do that or not). And not offered opposite things kids are known to not like, or that are known to be especially bad school lunches.

I would skip the fish. Just the thought of it makes me nauseous. I remember back in the day how bad the school lunches were and how bad the cafeteria smelled. The burgers were like hockey pucks, the kids would throw the hot dogs around to see them bounce and the pizza kind of looked like brains. I always brought a bagged lunch.

It's about eating more plant based (low-carbon) food) including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Where public hospitals and schools can lead the way by serving plant-based meals as the default option. The linked articles earlier are pretty clear.

20% of the Big Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions come from food production and consumption, particularly meat and dairy

Try consuming some raw (or cooked) vegetables (cabbage, onions etc) or some beans, and then talk about gas emissions.

Sometimes the rats take on the cats in the St Louis Metro. If the rat is big enough and the cat young and inexperienced enough, the rat wins

The only time I ever intervened in a battle between wildlife when I was LE, was a kitten just barely old enough to be away from its mother, and it was losing to a rat. The kitten had the right idea, but had bitten off more than it could chew

We did do animal rescue or animal control type duties sometimes. Especially late at night when whoever was on duty was pretty much "it" for everything. The Humane Society was far more reliable and far quicker than Animal Control when we needed an animal picked up, but if it wasn't an emergency, it could still be a long time.

I remember talking with a Conrail road crewman who mentioned the large size of the rats down near the Philly grain wharfs
necessitated the equipping some crew members with .44 revolvers or deer rifles. We are talking woodchuck - badger size rats.

And then there is the debate over the 2nd Amendment, that it is part of our defense against rats taking over.

Sorry Templeton, I see no utility in rodents, they only cause destruction of property and transmit disease. Snake fodder they shall ever be.
Maybe that's why they put the snake on the Gadsden flag - get rid of the rats.

 

[Wally]

Of course let us not forget the R.O.U.S. Rodents Of Unusual Size.

But maybe they don't really exist...

 

[Momma D]

They're sure planning a lot of things by 2030.

I read about Agenda 2030 months ago. It seems like they are speeding things up
I want to go home, please Lord

It's not just higher income people. The Biden plan is to raise fees from anyone with a good credit score to subsidize those with bad credit scores. What is the point of working to pay bills on time and live within your means if you're going to be penalized for having good credit?

And what is the answer??
