I don’t think CA “dictates” emissions policy, I believe a number of state legislatures have passed laws that say “Whatever CA CARB does we will follow.” That’s on those stupid states for following CA. I don’t know how many... 6-7 more or less? I don’t know.
A small grocery store in my town here in commieforina had a sign over the bacon that said “The price of Bacon has increased thanks to Prop 12” I guess they got a lot of questions about it. Bacon went from around $3 to $7-10 a lb. I love bacon but ham is actually cheaper than bacon now. I don’t know why.
Prop 12 said pork sold in CA “MUST” be raised in “Bigger” pens.... resulting in a lot of farmers shutting down do to the burden of cost to resize their pens. BIG PORK probably pushed this law, to push out smaller operations and raise their prices for more profit. (does it apply to out of country farmers??? I don’t know. I need to the check the label of origin on the ham I guess.)
As I recall from my “Expert” opinion /S from the Movie “Trading Places” pork bellies are part of the commodity futures on the stock market. Pork bellies is/are what Bacon is made out of. This Reeeeeeks of Insider trading.
To go a little deeper.... everyone probably thinks that its family households that buy bacon to have with their eggs for breakfast... nope, those people that cant afford it wont buy it.... its Restaurants... small guys, big guys.... fast food Bacon burgers.... Denny’s.... Golden corral... “They” Have to buy it.
I know I’m getting long winded. One more thing I wanted to say....CA has like 40 million people (consumers) but only like 30-40% actually vote. And out of that its 35-40% Rebublican and 55-60% Democratic party.
There is a lot of voter base out here that never votes... Trump would do good out here to “Get The Vote” Which they always say. .... Hell we have Ads that say “Just go out and VOTE! GET the VOTE out!” They put those ADs out because the propositions say “SAFE, CLEAN, Hard on Crime” type of stuff. And its always the opposite. But the stupid low information voters just suck it up and vote yes for the opposite of what they want.
OK IM DONE.
Leftists believe that they are the "good" people, and we are the "bad" people. They feel smug about voting against bad people.
