How this looked in CA: Based on the house address, you can water your yard on designated days but the price of water skyrockets "temporarily" due to needing to do infrastructure improvements, and then price never goes down due to water 'shortage'. In the 70s gasoline is sold based on odd or even number designated day based on your license plate. During peak demand for electricity, CA wants you NOT to use appliances or air-conditioning because there's not enough electricity in the summer. Plastic grocery bags replace paper bags to save the trees, but you have to buy the plastic grocery bags but then plastic bags are banned as pollution, but then due to covid your reusable bags threaten to infect grocery store workers so then you can have plastic bags again but if you try to reuse your bags you have to bag your own groceries because covid.
