Will normies actually buy this nonsense, or do you think we're at a point where people and governments will call this out for the fear-mongering that it is and refuse to enable such a blatant power grab?
With the amount of people noticing the illegal immigrant issue, I'm not sure. Rationing while sharing with squatter trash the central government allowed in? Yeah, that'll devolve pretty fast.
Really this smells like Civil War 2.0 fodder. Far-Lefties and perhaps their milder folk don't care though, they already view the position of President as dictator.
A third of Democrats were comfortable enough with the idea of the government kidnapping people's kids if they didn't get the Covid vaccine that they were willing to say so to an anonymous pollster. That's a lot of potential order followers.
What do you guys think?
Would they actually be able to pull this off?

Feel free to sound off!
Big utilities and processing plants will play along. Both industries are centralized out the ass, and the guys at the top tend to be in the club.

People will absolutely play along with it. They're too stupid to figure it out.

Mechanically/technically, how do you limit the amount of meat/gas/whatever that someone buys?
Politically what happens when old people die of heat strike?
I don't see it being feasible even if desired.
Central bank digital currency. Your "money" becomes glorified coupons that the government can turn off at any time.
Nothing, just like COVID patients being stuffed into nursing homes.
You lack imagination.
Agree on central bank digital currency being an effective way, but implementation of that cannot happen quickly.
I think they have to get that piece done before the rest is possible.
Maybe if they did some sort of "optional lockdown" I could see.
You can look into how rationing has worked in the past.
Did people cheat? A shitload.
They did it anyways. It's probably not a good idea, but they did it anyways.
just raise the prices of meat and require ID to purchase it. Then of course it's trivially easy with a CBDC.
The government only has a few ways to raise prices: Taxes Destruction of supply
Neither of these can be implemented quickly.
taxes can be implemented very quickly.
