You say that like it’s a bad thing.
100% of leaded gasoline became illegal. Outcome? Huge health benefits.
100% of lead paint became illegal. Outcome? Huge health benefits.
100% of new vehicles without catalytic converters, air bags, backup cameras , abs, reaction control became illegal. Outcome? Massive health and safety benefits.
The whole point of making the old way of doing something illegal is to force the better way. This is good.
- lazide 2mo agoExcept there are clear health hazards likely to happen from this change, such as increased tire particulates, and the nominal improvement (co2) is such a diffuse hazard (with limited direct health consequences) that it is likely to get lost in the noise.
- testing22321 2mo agoEvery change to a complex situation will have negative outcomes. A study was done, and they have clear data to make this decision. As time moves forward, new studies can be done addressing your concerns, and decisions can be made about addressing those. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.
- lazide 2mo agolol, clearly you have no experience with California and these types of decisions.
- testing22321 2mo agolol, better just give up and accept no improvement then.
- lazide 2mo agoThe point is, it is no actual improvement. But then, you likely are fully aware of that eh?
