Why is California so much Smarter than the rest of the US?
Vanity/Self ^ | 1/8/2020 | vanity vanity all is vanity

Posted on 01/08/2020 4:51:18 PM PST by CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC

For the millionth time today I encountered a product with a prominently-displayed label proclaiming:

"WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS _________, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE [choose any 3: CANCER, DEMENTIA, DANDRUFF, FATTY LIVER, HALITOSIS, THE HEARTBREAK OF PSORIASIS, BIRTH DEFECTS IN BABY MILLER MOTHS, etc etc...]"

I've waited YEARS for the other 49 states to play catch-up and sign on to these warnings, but to date I've waited in vain.

How is it they know so much more than the rest of us? Why are they so enlightened, while the rest of us are in the mental Dark Ages?

Perhaps the brilliant intellectual lights radiating from Hollywood raise the rest of the state's average to be far above our own? I dunno.

I don’t know, but let’s build a wall to keep that smartness from leaking out.

Yeah, when was the last time you heard a California Rasin commercial?

They killed millions of innocent people before folks wised up to the dangers.

Here in Texas I think the warnings, if any, say:

“Warning If you are so stupid you need a warning on this product you are too stupid to use it!”

The opposite is what I have assumed. I see that Californians are too stupid to avoid eating lead-acid storage batteries and houses without first reading a warning label.

I remember when I was about twelve The state of Ca. put out a media warning that milk caused cancer. It absolutely destroyed the dairy industry market for about 3 years. What they deceptively failed to share was that you would have to drink a truck load a day for 350 years before it “might” cause cancer...

My guess is that it's easy to get a substance added to the list, but absolutely impossible to ever remove any.

After all, that would imply that "someone made a mistake," and that would be Heresy in Greendom.

It’s the lower humidity levels compared to those east of the Rockies. Out here we’re really listless, drained, incapable of storing glycogen, impotent and ugly. We like it that way. We eschew warnings, we store ammo, weapons of waaaa, and some even stockpile food and water, all the while placing our groceries from Walmart in plastic shopping bags without a second thought. And we watch and wait for the signal to go medieval on the enemies of our listlessness.

That would have been next on the list, along with “Ring Around The Collar”.

I bought a 24 inch mower blade and had to sign a Prop 65 warning.
