Curiously... certain twitteratti and other influencers got right on that boat on cue to promulgate how bad gas ranges are. So one commish starts a snowball that grows into an avalanche...
So you're right, if it were only one commish in the forest no one hears... but apparently many heard his signal and hit the gas --and that sudden lurch alerted people not on that wavelength that something weird was going on. That's the hubbub, not that one commish has some opinion.
- tptacek 4y agoYou write as if the CPSC just set off the movement against gas cooktops. Some municipalities have banned new gas hookups for years.
- mc32 4y agoLet's just say, the sudden upswell in advocacy and promulgation just seems non-"organic" and seems more like coordinated memetics. For example as another kind of ordinance which is more organic is the adoption of bans or phasing out of gas-powered leaf blowers. Also, second-hand smoke from puffed weed is detrimental to non-smokers' health --can I expect the same virality?
- tptacek 4y agoI don't know what you're talking about. People believe things you disagree with. That's not a conspiracy; it's literally just the human condition.
