Breaking a single CFL bulb
I’m surprised the sanitation union isn’t more concerned for their union workers who pickup this trash.
We have a Democrat Administration is why they are not saying anything.If it were a Republican Administration they would be screaming like banshees.
The overlords won’t be happy with the CFL bulbs until people start suffering and (in their eyes hopefully) dying from the mercury exposure.
Why should the Sanitation union workers be worried? If you break a CFL bulb you are supposed to call a HAZMAT team.
When they get involved, expect a "special disposal fee" to appear. Actually, not a bad idea and it only makes sense, given the risks of expose.
However next will be enforcement, which will involve sifting through your trash for violations. Have a copy of the Rush Limbaugh newsletter in your trash? We think we found a CFL infraction - $500 fine!!!
The Federal garbage inspector will then be compelled to report the homeowner to the DHS for environmental terrorism.
No worries, you'll get out in time to meet your grandchildren...
Tongue in cheek, and yet it will probably be implemented within the first year of Obama's 2nd term.
