Pigouvian taxes are a traditional solution to negative externalities, and they are often better received by the public than rationing.

  • It's expensive to be poor - the lights turning off a few days before the end of the month will incur even more costs than a higher electricity bill.

  • Taxes raise money for other programs, instead of costing money to enforce rationing.

  • Higher taxes in general will also help reduce inflation.

  • Tax revenue can be spent on stimulus checks to offset the cost for people who use less energy than average.

What if he's just making up a reason because he doesn't like you at all? If you're weird and pushy he'll tell everyone! It already took weeks of imagining that interaction and mustering the courage to do it.

No, this plan is a bust. It's obvious you're interested; you just asked him out. So if he is too, then he'll just tell you. Obviously.

It’s not getting to the people who need it because [CHOMP] it’s being intercepted by warlords!
