I don't think a poll is necessary to know that people are eager for corporations and the wealthy to actually face consequences for their actions. Privatizing profit and socializing loss is kill us.
It can have value in that politicians often hear what the rich and powerful have to say, and can end up confusing this with what the public wants
Fair point
Bold of you to assume many politicians care what the people think in the first place
Not all do, but enough often do that it affects policy.
so what do we do about it?
Based on what I've seen since the Regan administration: we get killed. And they'll expect us to thank them for it.
maybe we should change our strategy not getting killed.
Look up your legislators, give their office a call, and encourage them to act.
Organize with others, so that you're able to deliver votes and/or campaign contributions at scale in exchange for helping to get off of fossil fuels.
This shit doesnt work. Fines get added to cost of business and passed off to consumers.
The law needs to change to stop considering corps as people, and go after the actual stakeholders fucking over the country for extra profit.
There's a fair bit of evidence to that they do work, by creating a financial incentive to shift away from fossil fuels.
I bet there is also wide support for public mulching the C-Suite of corporate polluters.
I bet that would also be more effective.
At this point the reasonable position should be to toss fossil fuel executives into a volcano.
