Let's be clear for a moment:
First, this is a private company sponsored program.
Second, it is a voluntary, opt-in program for the employees.
Third, if they fall below their quota, they are rewarded up to 100 pounds.

If these people choose to voluntarily allow their company to dictate their carbon footprint, so be it. But don't copy/paste a story and try to represent it as a mandatory program that is taking place.

I NEVER DID THIS, NEVER REPRESENTED IT AS A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM, JUST REPRESENTED IT AS THE STUPIDITY THAT IT IS...


How exactly is an opt-in program provided by a *private firm* that provides an incentive to decrease a person's carbon usage, and a penalty for not doing so "Liberal Progressive Stupidity".
STUPID LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES WILL WANT TO SHOVE THIS UP YOUR BUTT AS WELL, THAT'S HOW.....
"in a trial that could lead to rationing being reintroduced via the workplace "
Britain’s first employee carbon rationing scheme is about to be extended AND EXTENDED...AND EXTENDED AND EXTENDED

NOW...DEFINE "HEALTHY MAJORITY"...SPECIFICALLY THE ONE THAT THE REPUBLICANS ENJOYED DURING THE BUSH YEARS WHEN THEY RAN ALL OF THAT LEGISLATION THROUGH AND THE DEMS COULD ONLY HELPLESSLY WATCH


APPROPRIATELY CALLED A "SCHEME" BY THE WAY, OR BETTER, A SCAM

Ensign receives handwritten confirmation

This doesn't happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."

The note was a follow-up to Ensign's questioning at the markup.
