The hits just keep on coming for residents of the formerly Golden State. Already besieged by high inflation and severe energy shortages, citizens of the erstwhile Land of Milk and Honey will soon face a ban on natural gas (except for Eric Swalwell's). The California Air Resources Board, or CARB, is planning to rid the state of natural gas heaters, stoves, and furnaces. The Hill recently reported that the CARB passed a proposal that will lay the groundwork for phasing out gas-powered space and water heaters, and other such appliances, by 2030. (I guess CARBs really are bad for you.)
But that's not all. If certain leftists get their way, and they often do, entire kitchens may be outlawed in the future. If this is the case, the first state in the Union to ban them will undoubtedly be California.
Families may be abolished as well. Erin Maglaque recently penned a positively glowing review of Sophie Lewis's new communist manifesto screed, Abolish the Family, in which she pleaded, "Let us begin by abolishing our kitchens." She added, "If we begin by abolishing our kitchens, what else might we get a taste for destroying, and for creating?" Let's not find out.
Lewis, a "feminist thinker," has stated that "[f]amily is a terrible way to satisfy our desire for love and care." Yes, it's much better to be "loved" and cared for by the government. Lewis doesn't much care for heterosexual culture. She believes that there can be no feminist future until the family — particularly the nuclear family — is abolished. And she says, "It is a wonder we let fetuses inside us." (Memo to "feminists" like Lewis: If you don't want a fetus inside you, you shouldn't let a phallus inside you.)

Who is imposing this misery on them?
Californians better lay in a large supply of firewood because that is all they will be able to cook with, behind closed doors of course.
The POWER of Marxist Dictatorship in the open for all to view. Is this America’s future? Vote dammit! Vote the bass turds out!
Self-inflicted suicide via a suicidal psychopath named GavinIdiot.
I love it. Californicates getting the government they voted for.
Most civilizations that collapse to rubble do it by self-inflicted suicide.
I very much doubt ours will be an exception.
RE: Who is imposing this misery on them?
By analogy to heaven and hell, C.S. Lewis used to say: “the gates of hell are locked on the inside”. It is not that God sends them into this isolation — in fact, it is just the opposite: even though God thirsts for our communion with Him, some choose to exclude themselves. Such people have chosen the prison of self-made aloneness rather than the joy of communion with God.
Similarly, You might call it misery, but the voters of California call it paradise. They WANT this to happen and are happy for this to happen.
Consider — They had a chance to recall Gavin Newsom but decided to keep him ( by a landside too ). This simply means that Californians ( or those who opt to stay ) actually LIKE what’s happening.
The opportunity was there to get out of hell, but they LOCKED the door from the inside.
Good and hard.
So did the rest of us. How’s Biden workin out for ya?
Agreed, Sir.
Family is not about satisfying our desires. Such a statement betrays a complete ignorance of the nature of love.
Then of course then, the no-burn ban goes into effect to save the trees and the air complete with the smoke police driving around and using drones to find smoking chimneys. Of course the FBI smoke swat team will follow up to deal with he criminal element trying to cook or keep warm.
Won't help much when there's a burn ban too, with enviro police patrols out enforcing it.
I just can't wait for them to ban electricity too.
They’re not going to like cooking on electric burners at the French Laundry
When are they going to fight back and sue them into oblivion?
Exceptions can be made.
Chefs will be pissed. Natural gas is way better for controlling food prep.
Yes, they do. Along with more than a few cases of Stockholm Syndrome clouding their judgement.
Future Commiefornian: I’m allotted enough power to drive my EV to the store, or cook my groceries after I get home, but not both.
