They're here to HELP. That's why the EPA gave farmers an incentive to plant corn late in 2013, so the late harvest & green, wet corn sucked up most of the storage winter heating propane, forcing the peasants to pay $5-6 a gallon to heat their houses if they ran out.
And that's why the government forced the removal of phosphate from peasant detergent and peasant dish soap, so that nothing would get clean, and you'd have to use twice as much water. They were HELPING.
And that's why they made us adopt CFLs, so we'd fill the landfills with small mercury bomblets, which would NEVER leach into the water table.
And that's why they reduced the amount of water your toilet tank holds, so that you'd use two or three times as much water to remove your waste.
And that's why they forced low sulfur diesel on us, which attracts more water (because of the biodiesel they put in it) and damages more engines (and kills the wicks on kerosene heaters). They were HELPING.
One of the most feared things in the universe: Government help - making things worse daily while you pay for it.
