So you are saying that the people infected with the zombie disease are all going to be cannibals? Somehow this doesn't sound like a good news.

To clarify, these tokens would be in addition to money, not a replacement for them. It's a concept more similar to the carbon markets but they would be at the level of the citizen.

That's not what i'm suggesting, and the limits and costs associated with externalities could be tuned so that the life of a normal person would not be altered if not in the sense that you would get additional tokens that you can keep or sell depending on your needs and personal values. I can elaborate if it's unclear.

The real change would be that if a billionaire wants to live that kind of lifestyle, they would have to gather enough tokens from the market. This would really enable some sort of trickle down because they would have to buy the tokens from you and you would always be able to tell them "no" and keep them from polluting.

When are we going to introduce tokens to handle externalities like this? It shouldn't be possible or at least easy to abuse resources like this.

Anything that is subject to Poe's law is going to be divisive shit that polarizes people. You are 100% sure it's satire and your uncle is going to be 100% sure it's meant to be taken seriously. Everybody laughs at thw counterpart and retreats further in their original opinion.

“We are taking every step possible to work with the police so they can identify them.”

Yeah just make sure it's the actual police.
