I hate to be a spelling tyrant, but it’s spelled horse**it, not hairshirt! :D :D :D

Why doesn’t NY just ban people entirely.

Fossil fuel fools and foolishness...

“allowances” = bribes

So if the crooked politicians are going to say that it’s okay for you to pollute as long as you pay us, I’d say this is a political scam and con job and there are a bunch of politicians who need their asses thrown in prison.

If these trends continue, I may live to see the day when Rhode Island has more people than New York.

In their one-house budget bills this week, lawmakers took Hochul’s plan to cap greenhouse-gas output and require companies to buy “allowances” (indulgences?) for emissions and added new requirements of their own.

This is yet another jizya carbon tax that can be offset by purchasing fake carbon credits. That is one of Tesla's main profit sources. The federal and some state governments gives Tesla fake carbon credits that other companies can purchase to absolve them of their warmageddon sins cheaper than paying the jizya carbon tax. It's nothing but a redistribution of wealth from the non-cronies to the cronies.

As much as us FReepers like Musk's Twitter stuff, keep this article in mind when Musk demands more carbon taxes while also saying we should still drill for more oil and natural gas because we can't get away from them. He's put Tesla into a position where Tesla makes more money with increased fossil fuel use combined with increased penalties for fossil fuel use.

Well, The insane have been evicted from the State Hospitals in NY and have taken up residence in the State Capitol in Albany.
