“...so they can keep their phony jobs”

You have described about 80% of Government workers.

Hundreds of millions of people grew up around lead paint and leaded gasoline and suffered no ill effects.

Hmmm...in CA it made them vote for dumblecrats, apparently.

What people should be suing are the politicians who run misleading and lying campaign ads. Why are they exempt from truth in advertising laws?

You might make the same argument about toys with small parts: The toys weren’t made to be eaten.

Based on my years in advertising and graphics, and even as a kid, I think it’s a brilliant logo.

For years I thought SW was the only brand of paint on the market. They used to sell it at the “Economy Auto Stores”, similar to “Western Auto”.

My wife worked for SW for many years, with five years managing one of their paint stores, they’re a good company, at least when she was there.

This is one of California and Moonbeam’s boondoggles to try to support their prolific spending and debt problem.

Lead paint is beautiful and harmless if used correctly.

Behr has terrible adhesion. I just painted my concrete basement with 1 part epoxy and it is already peeling! Same with the exterior semi gloss paint.

Interesting info. Before buying our paint I bought samples from SW and had samples mixed at Home Depot. The colors were similar except for the one I ended up choosing for our main level. SW Silver Strand is a soft gray with blue-green undertones. In the HD paint it was a vivid blue with gray undertones.

We live in a huge fixer upper. It was ugly everywhere your eyes landed. Much of it still is, but some of the walls, ceilings and trim are done and the colors are beautiful. It gives my eyes a break from the ugliness. We painted our planked (faux ship lap)mudroom walls white and after I watched my oldest kick off his shoes into the wall I noticed that it was dirty all around the bottom. Was a bit concerned as I didn’t use the higher sheen, tougher paint. It cleaned up with just a damp cloth like a dream. I am forever loyal to Sherwin-Williams.

I see what you mean. I didn’t say that very well.

Neither my kids nor my grandkids have ever chewed on windowsills. But then, we didn’t leave them alone for hours in the house and we fed them food.

Is California authorities holding humans in involuntary servitude within the state’s borders?

They can leave any time they make up their mind to.

Isnt 1-part epoxy is a contradiction in terms?

><

I understand and that.

You must understand that many just can’t leave until they have a new job, sell their homes, etc. It is not as easy as you say.

Jobs are everywhere. California home prices will buy you 2 or 3 mansions anywhere within 80% of the country.

It all depends on how much BS from your state you are willing to tolerate. Bullet trains to nowhere. Cops that are jailed or fired for enforcing the law. Politicians that give your money to illegals then let them vote them back into office.

I would move just to keep from living around people who agree with these things!

Of course, you're correct and though I only hinted it at it, you laid it all out, in full.

This problem is only a "PROBLEM", for certain socio-economic strata and for all of the reasons you stated.

I understand all of that.

I’m like you...I’d move just to get away from the idiots.
