How about we do two things

Like how about we work less and we immediately and totally nationalize energy and agriculture haha just a thought haha (fireflies are going extinct haha)

Way ahead of you, energy has already been nationalized here for a long time.

That's cool. Do they ignore climate change in their energy calculations? Because if they are nationalized and choose to burn Shale Oil for energy, then they are kind of missing the point.

The Canadian state is just 3 oligarchs a trenchcoat. It's no different than if it was privatized.
