Oh no, how dare conspiracy theorists see an attempt to ban gas stoves as... an attempt to ban gas stoves?

How dare Fox entertainment pundits make people think gas stoves are going to be confiscated out of their homes imminently, when the discussion is about considering preventing installation in new builds due to health hazards. Go play with some lead paint and stick it to the libs.

    Yes. We agree. Fox was telling people "the government is coming for YOUR oven" as if people would have to get rid of their existing ovens. I support banning or restricting or discouraging the use of indoor appliances that cause documented health issues to any user. I don't support lead paint or leaded gasoline or smoking near gas pumps. The tyranny.

      >Fox was telling people "the government is coming for YOUR oven" as if people would have to get rid of their existing ovens. Citation needed. I don't see that in any of the print articles I can find on Fox, was it on one of their TV segments? Edit: I did find this - https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/5-ways-biden-still-coming-your-gas-stove https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/5-ways-biden-still-coming-yo... And sensationalist headline aside, it's very factual about actual policies (either proposed or being implemented) that will make gas stoves more expensive to purchase and operate. Nowhere does the article claim that the government is planning on busting into houses to take away existing stoves. Edit 2: I have to wonder, if a Republican politician was proposing a ban on the sale of new hybrids, and a leftwing outlet wrote an article with the title "The GOP is coming for your Prius" would you take as much offense at it? The headlines about gas stoves that I've seen don't seem much different than, say, a lot of the headlines I saw from the left about abortion after Row v. Wade was overturned.

        People have literally died because of that overturn. And you're comparing it to a gas stove?

        People have literally been prevented from getting murdered just because their mom wanted to keep making Powerpoints for $60k a year because of that overturn.

        Maybe you're right. The point is, phasing gas stoves out isn't totalitarian. You've dodged the reference to lead paint several times. Seems you don't want to acknowledge the government has a place in regulating harmful things at scale.

      That keyboard you type on. It's been associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Same with the mouse. And monitors have been known to cause vision issues if you're not careful.
