The UN has been trying to get global taxes, paid to the UN, of course, for a long time. Now, it’s on the verge of dong so. From Jenna McCarthy at jennaside.rocks:
(Unlimited Nonsense: Saving the planet, one catered conference at a time.)
Just when you thought your tax dollars were already doing enough heavy lifting funding gender-neutral parking lots and seven-figure unconscious-bias consulting contracts, the United Nations has decided to get in on the action. The planet’s self-appointed mall cop—armed with the authority of a small army and the competence of a toddler with a clipboard—will be meeting in London today to vote on what amounts to a global climate tax, targeting emissions from the shipping industry that powers 90% of world trade. Because apparently, not even the weather gets a free ride anymore.
Where’s the lie, though?
The plan comes courtesy of the International Maritime Organization, which wants to charge ships up to $380 per metric ton of carbon dioxide they emit. The money will go into something called a “Net Zero Fund,” which, I’m guessing, will operate exactly like every other global fund in existence: expensively, unaccountably, and totally ineffectively. Think of it as GoFundMe for the atmosphere—except participation is mandatory and your card’s already been charged.
The framework, which inexplicably has the support of China, Brazil, and the EU, is widely expected to be approved.
Proponents call it progress. Opponents call it taxation without representation. Accountants call it job security.
I wouldn’t expect anything less from the Global Soviet Trojan horse.
Nimrod one world worship is like communism in that it won’t work this time or any other time.
