“City people who have no clue.”

And rich lawmakers who have never had a blister on their hands their entire lives.

Democrats always overreach.

They never learn, and they never stop.

Just watched a video on X of a guy in California who compiled videos he made of prices for riding mowers last year, before government ban on gas mowers, and afterwards

prices of gas riding mowers - about $2000-2200

Prices of new electric riding mowers? $5200-$5500

Thanks to CA government, prices doubled in a year.

If and when the ban occurs...

The people in New Jersey should stop cutting their grass or just put concrete all over their yards, front and back. No more worries, other than pressure-washing them. No money spent on gas, and no money spent on mowers and huge savings for their pocketbooks. The ugliness can then be attributed to the legislators.

Having served on a tornado chainsaw disaster relief team - good luck to any NJ residents if they get hit by a tornado and have to rely on teams armed only with battery powered chainsaws. Those are cute for small jobs. For clearing downed trees all day long, not so much...

Neither one of those would know which end of a chain saw to hold. However, I’m really impressed that Jersey has such great control over all other threats that they’ve come all the way to this one. Ranking threats to the citizenry I’d have to guess this one doesn’t make the top million.

There is always an option of simply ignoring the S&DOBs (Sons & Daughters of B******). When the number of us who dare the lawmakers to do anything about exceeds a rather small critical number, what’ll they do? Especially when the police (the good ones, at least) side with us? Molon labe. Enough of crap from DemocRATz. Make them cower in their pools and hear the lamentations of their LGBT partners (remember, they are DemocRATz).

I should also mention - teams came for all across the US for disasters like Hurricane Sandy. Nothing fosters a willingness to help like threatening to arrest disaster relief teams if they show up with gas powered equipment...

The bill, sponsored by Democratic Assemblymembers Herbert Conaway and Mila Jasey, seeks to curb emissions from gas-powered devices such as lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws, which contribute to air pollution and health risks.

Electric chainsaws just aren't adequate yet.

First, they banned stores from giving us ‘single-use’ shopping bags.

Now, gas-powered lawn mowers?

They also want to ban the sale of gas-powered cars.

,,, the EU is in the state it’s in because of over reguation. It looks like it’s creeped across the Atlantic.

I had to deal with this legislature constantly. They couldn’t spell gas let alone make some. every week they passed some restriction or great idea making changes to EOB’s and SOR’s and internal processes to the health insurance industry. All the while wondering why we had to raise rates.

That’s why an entire semi loaded with electric chainsaws sent by FEMA sat unused in North Carolina.
