You and the anti-Arnolds said it will. Arnold's been fairly pro-business and always pushing a hydrogen economy and other technologies which I'd think would appeal to conservatives who want to get off depending on foreign oil from places like Mexico. Better stewardship of the environment is a good thing. Business won't do much of that on their own because it might cost money they'd rather save.
We should be happy that he's going to sign a driving while talking on cell-phones ban? We should be happy that he's going to sign a smoking while driving ban?
Driving is *not* a right. It's a well regulated activity that you can only participate in by accepting the gov't oversight via licensing.
Cell-phone use while driving is clearly the leading distraction in accidents today according to statistics. Curbing that abuse because of irresponsibility in the name of safety is what gov't should do. It's not any different from DUI rules because you're trying to save others from being harmed by people too irresponsible for the 'ideal' lightly regulated environment. That's only ideal where there's 100% personal responsibility.
I'd rather you be 'inconvenienced' by not being allowed to use your hand-held cell while driving than a woman run your kid down in a lighted cross walk because she wasn't paying attention. The smoking ban in autos may reduce health problems (such as asthma) of young children trapped in cars with idiots who continue to smoke which could almost be considered child abuse.
You sound just like liberal Democrat Joe Simitian. He gave a speech like this on the floor of the Senate last night.
You and the anti-Arnolds said it will....
Anti-Arnolds? The WSJ, IBD, Fortune and other business publications have warned of the economic impacts. 100% of the Republican Legislators voted against this. The Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association strongly opposed it.
Chamber on AB32: "Job Killer -- Halts Economic Growth - Increases costs for California businesses, makes them less competitive and discourages economic growth with little or no proven environmental benefit by adopting an arbitrary cap on carbon emissions."Tell us, NewzJunkey, what party do you belong to? Democrat or The Party of Arnold?CMTA on AB32: "The bill’s California-only approach would serve as a powerful incentive for production to shift to other states or nations without a cap, quite possibly exacerbating GHG emissions overall. (As noted in the California Action Team report, GHG policies could lead to “leakage,” or the movement of businesses to other jobs to other states without caps on emissions.)"
I agree with Dan! You talk just like so many Liberals I've heard who've never tried to start a business and meet a new payroll, creating new jobs!!! Far too many businesses are already way overburdened with mandated cost of Americans For Disabilities Act stuff and on... and on... and on... endlessly!!!
Then you guys think it's just hunky dorie to screw somebody trying to run a bakery for "air pollution/global warming" bool chit... What in the hell is the matter with people like you??? Have you no common sense or urge to see Americans prosper? Your dumb comments sound exactly like the Socialists that want such big government heavy handed intervention that does NOTHING but make EVERYTHING COST MORE!!!
Judas Priest!!! Stifle that crappola, will ya???
Dude, please tell me you're joking. Your post #16 should have the "Comment Removed By Moderator" in place of it.
