The QUIET New Deal

"Wherever I am, there is also... a leafblower"

I have a proposal for all Green New Deal liberals - without even immediately discounting the 'no planes' / full remove fossil fuels , $100T annual global policy change.  As a self identified 'conservative' MMTer , I can't go to the well of 'that spending isn't feasible, how will you pay for it!' etc

I just have one preface and THEN we can go there.

NO LEAFBLOWERS.

If you are a liberal/green new deal politician or supporter, I want ALL LEAFBLOWERS gone from your district before you even start going off on how will manage changing the fossil fuel global economy. Some even have gas in them, so it should be step 1 on your crusade anyway.  What is greener than having leaves everywhere and no deafening power consumption 24/7?

As someone living in the liberal ground zero epicenter Fukushima/Chernobyl Los Angeles, the Green New Deal probably has the most support here and yet we still have 12hrs of leafblowers per block everyday.

This is my #QUIETNEWDEAL

If you are debating with a green new deal liberal and they won't interact on the budget/fiscal policy/incentives etc axis, simply shift the Overton Window to "I agree with you, why can't we solve this tiny subsection of your problem 1st, to prove you are right?" I'm trying to help you out!

I'm waiting for the day we can finally meet a liberal legislator/ governor and say "wow, you've gotten leafblowers and noise pollution out of your district, dealt with the fiscal and social policy/ incentive scope of that. Great, now you can present the full logic for your global green new deal"



As usual I expect zero rebuttals or even responses.
Also VIX down of course.
