This is often way more expensive than paying for heating.
> will implement Home Office
This only works for well paying IT jobs. Not the working class that actually physically work at factories, stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc etc that are underpaid and hit the most by taxes.
> will demand public transport
Demands are cool and everything, but you can’t sit around jobless for 1-2 decades waiting for laws to pass and municipalities to build out the transport infrastructure.
> will drive electric
Very few cities have the infrastructure for this. Once that’s fixed, carbon taxation would work better.
> drive as groups instead of individuals
This already happens in Europe, but people are still wage slaves. It changes nothing.
Some jobs will also get pay raises if there is demand for them, but people can't afford to take them.
Working remote doesn't work just for IT, and I didn't claim everything works for everybody. And incrementally increased taxation will allow for planning.
Poor people have a low enough foot print to profit with a dividend anyways.
The real problem with carbon taxing is that it must be realized globally
> profit with a dividend anyways
See, the thing is, there are no carbon dividends yet. We do have lots of carbon-like taxes (in the EU and elsewhere) though. So, there’s only loss, no gain.
Generally, there is no silver bullet, but there are a lot of possible solutions as you can see. And I am sure I didn't include most of them

Well, what not is ...
I’m not ascribing to a perfection mindset. Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the elites telling others how to live their lives, while simultaneously finding ways to further suppress them.
