Taxing doesn’t solve the problem either. Don’t go around assuming everyone’s a liberal who thinks that capitalism can be made to “work” by introducing taxes.

We should be way past taxing at this point.

It’s brilliant in its simplicity. I’d never think of that. I’d try to overengineer something out of the environment, but with less skill than MacGyver.

2. The species that go extinct are mostly local ones that don’t have large numbers to begin with.

Normalize this. Measure everything thing that is measurable, and make everything measurable that is not measurable. We need quantifiable communication. End linguistic quinary!
