If gas stoves caused asthma there'd be a hell of a lot more children with asthma.
Lmao the scientist in the room has spoken! If gas stoves harm people, then they simply must have harmed more people. There couldn’t possibly be an explanation for differences in impact. We either all got asthma or we all don’t.
In a free society the people impacted arrange their lives around their issues not the whole society.
Very sketchical. 68 months is nothing to barf at. 68 months in federal prison in no banana cruise. But Caldwell seems more concerned with the impact on his family than anything he did. And Jesus Christ, did anyone tell this guy that Marines don't cry? Jesus Christ. This is a quest for The Truth, not a goddam group therapy session.
We have regulatory agencies that research and ban dangerous items, initiate recalls, etc. In this case, the product is governed by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. They’ve previously recalled items like cribs that have killed babies. I’m not sure I think we need to wait on the public to vote on whether or not we should recall cribs that kill babies.
I know. That's why if legislatures want to ensure a product doesn't get banned, it's reasonable for them to be proactive.
We should also re-think whether their regulatory power should allow them to regulate or ban entire classes of products that have been used for hundreds of years when there's no immediate reason they couldn't wait for the legislature to vote.
I know none of us are asthma experts or anything like that, and the gas stove thing has been politicized so much that we probably have Fox News telling you the research is dubious and NPR telling me the research is true and all that, but if we have definitive research showing a product to be harmful, I want my regulatory agencies to have the power to ban the product or initiate a recall. The immediate reason is because the product is dangerous. We have new homes being built right now with stoves that could give kids asthma. It seems stupid to just let that happen.

Is it the job of the government to protect its citizens?
1. Because regulations should be voted on by legislatures, not handed down by a bureaucrat. Is this not a democracy?
2. Because the childhood asthma "study" was absolutely dubious.

hardloper If we had waited for legislative bodies to ban cfcs we’d have an ever larger ozone hole. Instead, governments stepped up, did their jobs, banned cfcs and hey regulation worked and the problem is apparently solved. we need wise regulation and waiting for politicians to do it won’t work in many instances.
Here's the kind of regulation Republican legislators are in favor of. This and more guns.
Florida’s Governor wants Congress to get answers on two conservative cable networks getting dropped. Gov. Ron DeSantis, who served three terms in the U.S. House, wants a legislative probe on recent decisions by cable carriers to remove One America News Network and Newsmax from their programming lineups. In Bradenton, DeSantis suggested that the House, currently under Republican control, would be the best venue for that urgent inquiry into potential “intellectual discrimination.”

There's a reason California is dying.
Let me guess...Reagan gets credit for this:
The economy of the State of California is the largest in the United States, with a $3.63 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2022.[2] It is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world's fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India.[9] Additionally, California's Silicon Valley is home to some of the world's most valuable technology companies, including Apple, Alphabet, and Nvidia.[10] In total, over 10% of Fortune 1000 companies were based in California in 2018, the most of any state.[11]

Absolutely correct! One of my favorite adultisms. Everything good in California is because of the Republicans. Everything bad you know who

Do Republicans blame Republicans for Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana? Just checking.

How long would it have taken to draft and pass a bill to phase out CFCs? 1 month? I don't see how that's an issue.
the point is that few Republicans would vote for a ban on CFCs because 'american jobs marxism transgender not enough guns or bibles' so it would not get done.
being an idealist and believing in democracy leaves you destroyed by the tragedy of the commons.

Who decides what is and isn't "definitive research"? And where do I go to vote them out when they're wrong?
If you want to ban gas stoves, draft a bill. If it doesn't pass, you fail. Democracy.

Interesting how quickly you guys give up on democracy when something might not go your way.

California was the largest economy in the US when Reagan was still an actor.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Kentucky wish they could be “dying” like California.
California is being kept alive because it's the primary port of entry from Asia and the weather nice. Anyone who thinks liberal policies have anything to do with California's wealth is a f*cking moron.
