Actually in my opinion, he may be onto something.
Low Flow toilets.
Pool fences.
Pool drain design.
Pool alarms.
Smoke detectors.
Just a quick list of drama Scottsdale dropped on me in the last 5 years.
All were mandated at the federal level.
The only thing it has done is wake people up at night to change a battery in their smoke alarm.
Fill land fills with old toilets and make people flush 2-3 times.
Create a business to remove pool fences.
Imagine what kind if a disaster they will come up with with AOC and Harris running the Federal Gov.
Now look at CA.
Regulating:
Lawn mowers
BBQ
Watering
Insulation
Solar Power
Lighting
They regulated blowers also!!
Let’s not forget the scheme to outlaw single family dwellings.
You forgot CA Regulating All Small motors to need emissions equipment on it, not just lawn mowers. Including Generators, leaf blowers, air compressors, ect.
