Poll finds elites want strict rationing of gas, meat, electricity, freedom
American Thinker ^ | 27 Jan, 2024 | Eric Utter

According to a new poll, nearly 90 percent of ivy league grads support the “strict” rationing of gas, meat and electricity to fight climate change.

That's 90%! “Strict rationing!”

The poll, conducted by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, is titled “Them vs. U.S.: The two Americas and how the nation’s elite is out of touch with average Americans.”

It was intended to assess the beliefs of “elites.”

According to the College Fix, the poll was comprised of two surveys of 1,000 folks each conducted in late 2023, and the "Elites" were defined as “people having at least one post-graduate degree, earning at least $150,000 annually, and living in high-population density areas.”

The Committee to Unleash Prosperity (CUP) found that:

“An astonishing 77% of the Elites – including almost 90% of the Elites who graduated from the top universities – favor rationing of energy, gas, and meat to combat climate change.”

This is starkly at odds with the will of all Americans, 63% of whom oppose this policy. It is shameful and embarrassing that so many “elite” Americans have drunk the Kool-Aid -- and bent the knee at the altar of progressivism. These are folks that would be more at home attending the World Economic Forum in Davos than a country music concert in Des Moines. And would then fly back to the U.S. to snob the rest of us and bitch about the carbon footprints of lawnmowers and farmers.

Incredibly, CUP also found that nearly six in 10 “elites” say there is too much individual freedom in America.

Are these so-called elites talking about the freedom to attend preposterously expensive indoctrination centers-- mostly courtesy of dad, mom, and taxpayers-- so that, upon graduation, they can spew anti-American inanities into the ether?

“top universities” has become an oxymoron.

Proposed Calif. legislation would require satellite/cellular monitoring and control of vehicle speeds. They are citing an increase in vehicular deaths.

An excellent idea! A zero footprint from the self-anointed ‘elites’, to save the earf!

If the progs want rationing by all means they should go right ahead.

They can leave the normal American Citizens out of it OR, they can experience "rationing" at a whole new level.

“Communists have always loved rationing.”

It’s their “more for me” mentality. They couldn’t care less about the good of humanity. Which is why they want most of us dead.

I don’t want to be too stingy. The elites can have all the O2 their lungs can extract from water.

Natural rationing.
