Quick, somebody tell these politicians about a highly addicting and dangerous chemical known as Dihydrogen monoxide with a kill rate of 100%. Ban DHMO! Save America!
~/s~
Yes, every terrorist in the history of mankind consumed DHMO! Ban this stuff immediately! ~/s~
… this article is kinda shit.
Says 8 states but doesn’t tell you which ones, just that Tennessee and Florida are 2 of them.
Says 8, tells us 2.
WHO ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO POINT AT AND LAUGH???
We live in a post-reality political climate.
Conservatism was never a part of reality. The Dems just decided to join them in lala-land, and apparently the voters too...
Conservatism is just reactionary post modernism, nothing is real but their personal visceral reaction to some event, and historical events themselves are given innate mystical properties such as things "existing in a vacuum", and the lovely "its just natural" analysis. Democrats are just really good slow walking reformists owned by capital interest.
Next:they want to outlaw the moon.
They'll outlaw fake landings on the moon. Lol
All forms of condensation must be exterminated!
Anyway, the reason they want to push bullshit laws is that bullshit laws can be used to punished whomever they like precisely because they are not founded in reality.
If it wasn't so sad it'd be hilarious that all these states are banning imaginary ways to control the weather while at the same time gutting the EPA and air population controls, so real ways to influence the weather.
Stop fucking flying so much then. You could always put those planes on the ground, on tracks. Imagine that.
Planes issue horrible chemicals that cause all kinds of issues. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.
My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal. That's good.
My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal.
Pretty sure that the actual components of airline exhaust would be considered legal. They wouldn't just ban all fossil fuel powered flight, they just want to ban the non-existant mind-control/climate manipulation they think the airplanes are doing.
These people think that jet contrails are like, mind control chemicals being sprayed by airplanes flying over. That's what they're trying to ban, something that isn't even happening.
I understand. But I'll take any climate improving legislation I can get.
This legislation doesn't even do that.
Do that many people not realise what condensation is?
You vastly overestimate the US education system as a whole.
"Condensation can only form on glass", while not in a conversation about contrails this is a response I got from an adult human who graduated high school. He was standing 3 feet away from a steel pipe covered in condensation and dripping onto the floor.
