The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Washington is challenging California (the perennial winner of the Lunatic State award) for top spot on the list of the stupidest, most freedom-stealing states in the union. From selective enforcement of laws against violent crime, onerous gun control, forced conversion of children into the Sustainable Organic Church of The Carbon Apocalypse, celebration of every psychiatric sexual disorder, to insane restrictions on the use of private property, Washington looks south and thinks, "Hold my beer!"

Democrat bill would jail people using gas-powered leaf blowers

The Democrat war on gas continues. Now, Democrats propose jailing Washingtonians for using gas-powered landscaping tools like leaf blowers.
State Representative Amy Walen (D-Kirkland) pre-filed legislation that makes sweeping additions to the Washington State Clean Air Act. HB 1868 bans “gasoline-powered and diesel-powered landscaping and other outdoor power equipment” for “contributing to climate change.” The bill lists a number of unintended health consequences tied to the tools, as well, including the claim that they cause asthma.
The bill gets to the ban by empowering the Department of Ecology to “adopt rules to prohibit engine exhaust and evaporative emissions from new outdoor power equipment” by either January 1, 2026 or sooner, if the state determines it’s feasible to do so earlier. Washingtonians are expected to upgrade their equipment to zero-emission alternatives. Government work, however, is partly exempt.

That government work will be to save government employees during natural disasters, and to repair infrastructure after fires and earthquakes and such. Because the obvious yet unspoken reality is that there is absolutely nothing like gasoline-powered tools to get things done quickly and safely. Are government firemen going to use battery-powered saws during forest fires? Yeah...I doubt it.

It's amazing that the text of the law implicitly recognizes the superiority of the outlawed tools, yet the worship of Gaiaiaia at the expensive of human progress is paramount.

Violating this law could mean up to 365 days in jail or a significant fine.

That's my favorite part. Washington voted for these maniacs, so give it to them good and hard. But don't worry, they won't be jailing wetbacks using power tools to manicure lawns in the nice parts of town; they'll be nabbing some farmer using a gas-powered chain saw to clear his land. Because leftists are nothing if not perfect at selective enforcement of their laws in service of the larger goal of the destruction of traditional America.

Man, the secondhand market for stuff like this is going to be *great.* We're all going to get used to "Cuban car maintenance" to keep the old stuff that works going for as long as humanly possible.

It will also do weird things to demand. For example, the FedGov is making noise about banning the R410-A refrigerant soon, which means we're about to start the decline in availability of A/C recharges at a reasonable price, while still being in the "does this new shit even work" phase. So I bit the bullet and replaced my HVAC this year. The old system was 30+ years old and so beyond design life regardless and so I just bit the bullet and pulled forward the demand rather than be caught out and facing unknowns next year or the year after.

Lots of regulatory perverse incentive.

Indifference, and short-term thinking. Tranq (the fentanyl + xylazine) is *extremely* addictive and more intense than fentanyl on its own. Once you get, you'll probably never quit. Great for the dealers. Also, xylazine is a fairly cheap doping agent, which makes the fentanyl stretch further and reach more people. Add in to it Narcan which reduces risk of death and policy which reduces risk of punishment, and it's a witch's brew of conditions that help a drug *this* bad dig in.

And most of it is not on purpose on the part of the user. Many fentanyl users end up getting Tranq anyway. It's cheaper to produce, so into the pipeline it goes. The cartels don't care. There's always another customer.

Forklifts and skid steers. In Europe, full sized industrial tractors, and full-slew excavators. We had electric dump trucks here in the 1920's. The biggest cranes, of course, have always been electric. It can be done; it's just a question of how much you want to design the job around them.

I had a (corded) electric mower 40 years ago. It did a nice job, but it was louder than a gas mower. Turns out mower noise come from the deck, not the motor.

@DarwinBondGraha
Someone destroyed a menorah at Oakland’s Lake Merritt last night. The Jewish religious display was ripped down and thrown into the lake. Police are on scene and city workers just recovered the parts

are we to take your post as celebration of this hateful act? The body of your post contains the DNC's donkey kicking and a lineup of red, black, green and white images, signaling your support for Palestine.

Just an attempt to convince American Jews to use their influence with Israel to stop attacking Hamas. I was informed such influence exists and is the reason pro-Palestinian protests are going after Jewish targets.

Or antisemitism.

Oakland deserves every bit of the reputation it has earned as a city steeped in antisemitism.

85 Well... depends on when you want to say things really got 'bad.'

-the Sullan-Marian purges were no picnic (83-83BC)

-the second triumvirate purged a hell of a lot of Republicans (and anyone they saw as enemies, 43BC)

-Tiberius/Sejanus, Caligula, Nero (hell, even Claudius was no peach in the treason trial dept.)

-Domitian was not exactly easy to get along with

-Hadrian could be a prick, especially in his later years

-Commodus

-Severan Dynasty was not exactly 'great'. Severus himself, Caracalla (who was a gigantic asshole), Elagabalus was more just 'weird'. Alexander Severus was probably the only decent human being.

People usually see the third century crisis (which started when Thrax assassinated Alexander S) as when the ball really got rolling, but I'd go all the way back to Sulla v Marius. The die was cast at that point, long before Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

“This defendant abused a position of a trust as a global diversity executive for Facebook to defraud the company of millions of dollars, ignoring the insidious consequences of undermining the importance of her DEI mission,” U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said.

“Motivated by greed, she used her time to orchestrate an elaborate criminal scheme in which fraudulent vendors paid her kickbacks in cash. She even involved relatives, friends, and other associates in her crimes, all to fund a lavish lifestyle through fraud rather than hard and honest work.”

.. her biggest mistake was believing she could have real equity

223 Excuse me, but you have absolutely no idea how Washington voted; they were the original Fraud by Mail state, and the only way to change that is by violence. Is that your recommendation? No? Then stop looking down your nose at them for not doing what you won't either.

Don't live there. The people that DO either need to step up, or continue to allow the steal, if that's the case. I mean, no fraud happened in 2020, we're told, so Washington being true leftist, they don't NEED to cheat.

248 On November 9, 2020 (six days after the last presidential election), former Attorney General William Barr directed some of his key subordinates to investigate election irregularities, freeing them up to do so by overruling a prior internal Department of Justice (“DOJ”

policy that ordinarily pushed out such investigations until only after the relevant election had ended, been certified, and all election contests in court had finished.

In particular, the United States Attorney in Philadelphia (the Eastern District of Pennsylvania), William McSwain, indicates he was told by Barr to proceed in a fashion that contradicts the November 9 Memo. And similarly, the White House liaison to the Justice Department, Heidi Stirrup, has testified that Barr freely told her that he was guiding the Justice Department using a policy very different than the one put on paper in the November 9 Memo.

297 /No way they could make that show today obviously ...

Instead of two good old boy driving the General Lee perhaps they could have a couple of gay Muslim "refugees" driving a non-tesla electric car.

And instead of tussling with Boss Hogg they could have a feud with Mayor Goldstein who keeps trying to stop them from blowing up synagogues...

Oh, and Cooter will become a tranny hooker dispensing wisdom and beejers and Daisy will become a goat.

298 288 You know this stuff could be proved out - you could audit an election in real time. You'll notice that the government refuses to do this.

========

The left is getting greedy in terms of legislation in their blue enclaves, and they're going pretty much as fast as they can to institute utopia in every fine detail they come up with at any given moment.

Blue states will entrench through whatever means they can, but ultimately they're falling back on the Curley Effect by simply driving out those who would oppose them, leaving only those who like what's being done for whatever reason (the original effect was about the preponderance of crime, I believe, so criminals liked it in Boston under Curley). We're just in a spiral where the left refuses to have kids, drives away conservatives, convinces itself that humanity is a disease and should live like stone age cavemen (except rulers because they need electricity to rule).

I might even call it a death spiral.

At this point, I'd say we're just in the middle of a massive political realignment that we're not going to understand the implications of for a generation at least.

304 Ho, ho, ho. Apparently it came out yesterday (and was confirmed) that the company buying mine doesn't believe in shift differential pay. A third of our night shift has already given notice even though the transaction hasn't closed yet.

This is gearing up to be a clusterfuck. I'm gonna need hip waders for the upcoming reorg...

That's weird as hell. The main point of selling drugs is that once someone is hooked on the drug, you've got a customer for life, however-

this makes overdoses more common and deadly, so the main objective must be to kill their own customers.

The Progtard Death Cult speeds along, aided by the Chinese in their manufacture of distribution of illegal fentanyl.

Chemical Warfare, people. Now, Biological Warfare's Covid won't be lonely.

The Chinese are adding the stuff before shipping to Mexico. Apparently it is not the street dealers doing it but the stuff is mixed in when it is manufactured.

The end of the fiat currency system is also coming soon. Not sure that a mere realignment anymore is in the cards; probably more like revolutionary change.
