Lol sounds devious
The last year or so I’ve been stocking up in incandescent bulbs, but after reading this I think I might just have to buy some of these. Maybe they really could be lobbed as a weapon at the greenies, with the taunting reminder of all the mercury contained in them.
A while back there was a story where trash collectors refused to pick up trash that had CFL’s in them. But then, long ago I’ve seen florescent tubes sticking out of trash bins. Is there a difference? Don’t they contain mercury too?
I have advocated a group of harmless looking “tourists” milling around in front of the capital building, then converging and throwing hundreds of these lightbulbs on the steps. That would be awesome!
Sounds like a major felony, so wear SEIU tee-shirts and shouts slogans about crackers to get immunity.
Mandate on lightbulbs,any questions on how stupid congress critters are?.
The items that come from the people in the bubble world are beyond crazy.
Yes, incandescents have been banned and it sucks. But NOTHING requires the purchase of CFLs. We’ve replaced all our light bulbs with A9 LEDs. I really like the soft, shadowless glow of the A9 LED bulb. The lumen output is equal to the 40w bulb, but only usees 9 w, and they can be used with dimmer switches, which isn’t the case with CFLs. The incandescent was a step up from the wick lamp, but this romantic clinging to the incandescent when the A9 LED is available, has a lovely soft light, and lasts twenty years for the $20 cost just doesn’t make sense.
I ran across this video the other day and while watching it, I suddenly realized how a small group of citizens could easily:
1) shut down the federal government, 2) make the govt repeal it's mandate on these light bulbs, or 3)accomplish both objectives.
If there were accidental breakages of these bulbs in key government buildings daily then they would have to shut down the affected buildings and evacuate them each time for at least a few minutes to comply with EPA regulations.
One will wreak just as much havoc as 100 and you don’t need an assault - just Joe Shmoe dropping by his favorite govt bldg on his way home from Walmart and accidentally dropping one out of his Walmart bag.

My idea (put in a post a while back) is to take your used Mercury FLs (I refuse to call them CFLs) and dump them in your nearest post office drop box.....
