You can then watch coup d'état of governments through whole Western world as their population will struggle to feed themselves.
Taxing imports causes mass famine? That sounds bad! I wonder if there is a level of tariffs and such where the post you replied to could be effective without accidentally making everyone starve and overthrow their government. Do you have any info about the tipping point there?
Taxing fossil fuel imports in agriculture based on fossil fuels will make food expensive and cause riots. No reason to play a dummy.
They're not playing.
