The liberals feel good about it and that’s all that matters to them. Damn the consequences.

Sacrificing oneself willingly, for the benefit of others, is altruistic and honorable.

Sacrificing some against their will for the benefit of others is cruel and heart-wrenching but sometimes (hopefully very rarely) necessary.

Sacrificing some for no tangible benefit to anyone else except the high priests making the sacrifice, is vile, disgusting and corrupt.

This is an example of the third case.

Fluorescent lightbulbs should be sold with reading glasses and coupons for optometrist exams.

In checking them this week, the highest light output I could find was about 1750 lumens, about the same as a 100 watt lightbulb. That’s half what we get from the living room reading lamps with 3500 lumens each.

In the carbon-free eco future the then-elderly Global Warmists will all have bad eyes and have to wear LED headlamps to read a book.

I’m stocking up on the good old bulbs while I can.

My sister’s family got these to save money. I was staying with her at the time. I had to switch back to regular bulbs in my room. I got tired of tripping over things I couldn’t see. I found them barely functional and had to have a normal bulb, goose neck lamp to read by. I hate them. Then there is the problem of disposing of them. And since we’re on the subject, I don’t normally dis people, but Gore is a moron.
