Ban the bulb
« on: April 06, 2023, 02:22:16 PM »
So sloppy Joes energy department is banning the manufacture and sale of incandescent bulbs starting in July. We can now buy more expensive led and fluorescent that most likely will be made in guess where………..china  :thatsright:
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!

Fix't 'er for ya, my friend. As I recall, Dubya banned the damned things during his administration, and they were un-banned, by Deh EEE-BIL Orange Man, IIRC. (Too tired to look it up; if I'm wrong, my apologies...)

Correct. According to Fox News, Trump is quoted as saying, "They [LEDs] make me look orange." Hence the "orange man" moniker, I'd say.

I had thought that Congress ix-nayed the shift away from incandescent and CFLs, but my thinking was wrong.  :shrug:

This goes back to GWB's administration. SharterJoe was still infesting the Senate at that time.

SharterJoe took a lot of lessons from Barry Soetoro about overreach of his maladministration. Which we see damned near every day.
