Do you have a crystal ball Mr. Nostradamus?

Nope, just a hunch.

Bacon may disappear in California as pig rules take effect

A California law taking effect Jan. 1 could make pork harder to find and more expensive. Voters in 2018 overwhelmingly approved the law, which requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves.

. . . now, I challenge anyone that doesn't live in California, go to their local Arby's, you know the place, "they have the meats?" And TRY to order a ham sandwich.

he auto industry did not have the government working on its behalf by killing all the horses and mules

In those days the public made a choice

Actually it did. On behalf of the oil industry.

Which is ironic considering the fact all of the major auto makers are going all electric within the next 20 years, and they are already well under way.

But hey, if you really feel that bad about it. Write your favorite oil company a check at the end of the week, and send it with a card expressing your endearing love forever.

Good. As business models exclude CA, it becomes less relevant.

California is the 5th largest economy in the entire world by itself, and that ain't changing anytime soon.

Let them put panels on their property and use electric equipment. It is the future, keep in mind that the auto industry put blacksmiths out of business.

Most people can't wait a week to use their tools.

Your ignorance was based on your incapable to understand Cars replaced horses.

Ah, yes. Another fine example of observational selection.

Anyway. Amos disagrees with you.

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — A bill is now on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk that could disproportionately impact families in the Central Valley and nearby foothill and mountain communities.

Assembly Bill 1346 would end the production of gas-powered small, off-road engines--used in lawn and garden equipment and generators-- by January 1, 2024.

It would replace the gas-powered engines with zero emission battery technology.

"It doesn’t compare to what you’d get with a gas-powered unit,” says Robert Vasquez, with Jensen and Pilegard in Clovis.

Vasquez says the shop doesn’t just sell gas-powered equipment—it also services it.

"That’s really gonna affect our business if we lose generator sales due to emissions," Vasquez says.


Authors of the bill say small off-road engines produced more emissions than cars in 2020.

There is nothing "progressive" about "Progressives".

Great! We need to get off fossil fuels.

And if it weren't for stupid laws it would be 3rd.

Even with those he's got more than you, liar.

Bill only bans the sale...not the use. Nevada and Arizona will make a windfall off this.

Great! We need to get off fossil fuels.

And you can't stop using fossil fuels without the force of a government gun pointed at you?

That's like saying I don't wanna use heroin so I need drug laws!

 

[whitehall]

It's unclear if the bill would prohibit the use of said equipment or the importation of said equipment or just prohibit it's manufacture in California.

The government is going to legislate people to death.

But remember, it’s for your own good...

We're from the government and we're here to help you.

These leftists don’t realize just how much of what they use every day comes from fossil fuels in one way or another.

More frightening words were never spoken.

They can start moving their funky rumps via electric vehicles.
