I don’t like government mandates but that’s another issue. I’m wondering why we don’t hear the same screaming about the florescent tubes that have been in use for decades.

Back in the stone age of my youth I was a garbage man for a while. We used to dump whole dumpsters full of the long tubes in the back of the garbage truck twice a week on days when we picked up at the local power company.

To start with those tubes were not made in China, the land of quality fade where plastic is added to baby formula and pet food ingredients, high levels of mercury and chromium are added to children's toys and dishware, and shaving quality by substituting cheaper ingredients, regardless of the consequence is a national pastime.
