$8.70 for a pretty good beef burger with feta cheese, bacon and avocado at Mugg and Bean, a South African chain. Came with fries, though undercooked this time.
Soon enough, though, such cheeseburgers will disappear, if global planners have their ways.
UK Fires is a government-funded spin tank involving the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath and Imperial College London. In 2019, it released "Absolute Zero," which set out goals for reaching zero carbon emissions.
Between 2020-29, "National consumption of beef and lamb drops by 50%, along with reduction in frozen ready meals and air-freighted food imports."
Between 2030-2049, "Beef and lamb phased out, along with all imports not transported by train; fertiliser use greatly reduced."
Even more astoundingly, between 2020-29, "All [UK] airports except Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast close with transfers by rail."
Between 2030-49, "All remaining airports close."
These goals are leaked to condition us peasants for what's coming, but you can be sure the elites will continue to consume vast quantities of beef, lamb, lobster, foie gras and caviar, etc., and they'll fly everywhere constantly. No way they'll ground themselves.

that FIRES paper looks like a wishlist from people who favour retreat, stepping back from growth and accelerating conspicuous consumption,
I fall into the degrowth camp but this paper looks pretty zealous and extreme,
but not to worry, by the alchemy of finance the masters of the universe have stepped forward with their official plan to buy us a Star Trek future with no one having to adjust their lives in the slightest,
yeah baby, we're going to grow the living sheet out of this economy and all for the very reasonable price of $100-150 trillion over the next 3 decades,

I can't decide which of these schemes I dislike more, they both seem barmy, there must be a more sane approach?
You will get your Soylent Green and learn to like it!
