    Consumption accounting is impossible when the only options available to the consumer fuck them over completely.

    Cheap subsidized beef means I’m going to buy it to feed my family.

    Cheap subsidized gas means I can keep polluting with little cost.

    CAFE laws making vehicles fucking gigantic make it impossible to consume less fuel.

    Companies and laws dictate our consumption not the other way around. Tax or kill the wealthy, then we can talk.
