Yeah, how about we shut down large swaths of national economies. That's produced nothing but positive effects for all involved over the last couple of years.

Keep in mind, there are a (relatively) small number of ecomonies and peoples causing the majority of the damage / side effects. The others can continue as they have been.

The current model isn't sustainable. Something *must* change. There can be no actual change without change.

The point is, the economies in question (i.e., the over-contributors) need to change and all we're talking about is getting back to normal. In what reality is a normal that's so deadly so normalized and worshipped?

Trains could replace a large portion of trucking and short haul flight. Food production can be much more localised in many places, and supply chains which see products circumnavigate the world several times will end themselves the second they have to pay for externalities.

The remained can be covered by already mentioned mechanisms.
