    For sure it will be beneficial for many industries but I’d argue that it will severely impact (in a positive way) the transport industry, and the oil and gas industry as well. Since they have the strongest lobbying force, it’s going to be quite hard to go against them.

    Moreover, it may upset the distribution chains e.g., it might be hard to do « right-on-time » stock management when waiting for a train to be fully loaded before chipping, etc.

    In my opinion, money will circulate better, but to the detriment of those big industry, hence why it’s so hard for politicians to act on it.

      So some big companies that deserve no pity will earn less. Will they be opposed to it, of course, but that does not change anything of what we should push for.

      How hard it is to implement is an entirely different discussion though.

        Entirely agree, they deserve absolutely no pity, especially since it’s mostly their capital owners that will loose the most.

        As you stated the issue in the end is how hard are we ready to fight for it
