Lawn mower cutting green grass
The Los Angeles Times reports:
Gas-powered yard tools may be harder to come by starting this year. Assembly Bill 1346 requires phasing out fossil fuel-fueled leaf blowers, lawnmowers, weed trimmers, chain saws and other tools. The tools were targeted for their contributions to the state’s notoriously emissions-filled air.
Phasing out such equipment — by requiring that those of model years 2024 and later be powered with electricity or another clean energy — is part of the state’s plan to transition to a carbon-free economy …. People are still allowed to use the gas-powered tools they already have and buy them used.
While electricity isn’t necessarily clean, the electrification of everything is a valid strategy to decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors.
Leave it to California to pave the way to a viable future. I don’t think you’ll find this, or any other progressive measure being taken in Texas.

“Decisive Strength” from Donald Trump?
I’m not sure. Starting a pointless and illegal war that has no end in sight, at enormous expense? One that has debased and degraded our nation on the global stage? Crashing our economy for the common American?
Doesn’t sound like a winner to me. Could be wrong.

What Should Trump Supporters Do at this Point?
Maybe a better question is what they shouldn’t do.
If I were one of these folks, I would be reluctant to go on record and declare my support for the man who has almost single handedly brought the United States to its knees.
A little over ten years ago,
- Our country was the envy of the world; now we’re regarded with a mixture of ridicule and contempt.
- We were making our way forward out of ignorance, racism, and hatred of other people; now it’s thriving.
- The common American could afford gasoline, housing, and groceries; now we’re suffering.
- America was doing what it could to protect endangered species and forward environment responsibility; now we’ve sold our souls to the greediest of individuals and corporations.
- We had very little corruption in the presidency; now it’s rampant, and the DoJ has been weaponized to protect the criminal sociopath in the White House.
Again, I’d be loath to attach my name to this shit.

Rise of Communism
Well, he’s certainly one of the most visible anti-intellectuals and science deniers in our public space.
If you like ignorant morons, he’s your guy.
