—“Furthermore, contrary to corporate media’s constant whining, climate policy is NOT the “only way” to reduce fires. Prescribed burning, improved zoning and enhanced land management are much faster, more effective and cheaper solutions for fires than climate policy, explained the authors.”

Not to mention, if they stopped paying rogue players to start the fires 😑 That would go a long way too.

I was going to say that overall fires are down globally? Quick…hire arsonists all over the globe and start setting fires! We can’t lose our propaganda narrative that climate change will burn us all up! We’ll go broke. 😒

Money for many different industries. I worked food service at a firecamp in California somewhere north east of Ridgecrest in 2000 I think it was. We were serving $25 per plate, dinners every night,,,charged to the state,,,even to the convicts got the same food.

Wow, $25 back then? Crazy!

Also, the price of raw wood is way down and has been for some time (price of lumber is up because the saw mills can't keep up with the demand -- so that's another economic story.) Burn the trees, the price of raw wood goes up (for those who still have trees to sell.) Sounds like a plan.

I don't know why "they" pay for arson since they have the technology to do it themselves.

For instance, I find it suspect and unscientific that many CA blazing fires never touched the trees next to the incinerated houses. DEW?

Whatever happened to the Georgia Guidestones that were struck by something, immediatedly cleaned up, and never heard from again?

So weird... When things are not explained or examined rationally, then there is conspiracy.

Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel,

“My way is hidden from the Lord,

And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”?

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth

Does not become weary or tired.

His understanding is inscrutable.

He gives strength to the weary,

And to him who lacks might He increases power.

Though youths grow weary and tired,

And vigorous young men stumble badly,

Yet those who wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

— Isaiah 40:27-31 NASB1995

Beautiful choice, Janice.

R. (8a) The Lord is kind and merciful.

The LORD secures justice

and the rights of all the oppressed.

He has made known his ways to Moses,

and his deeds to the children of Israel.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful.

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,

slow to anger and abounding in kindness.

He will not always chide,

nor does he keep his wrath forever.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful.

Not according to our sins does he deal with us,

nor does he requite us according to our crimes.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful.

As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he put our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children,

so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

R. The Lord is kind and merciful.

“The Lord is kind and merciful.

Corrie ten Boom added .... and put up a “No Fishing” sign.

Oh how I love Isaiah 40! These repeated words always grab me by the heart…

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth….

The entire chapter is magnificent, here’s another gem from it…

“A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

For reals? What insanity is this? I wish I was a lawyer/legal person and could file an injunction! Those LED and other non-incandescent bulbs are full of toxic substances and radiate noxious light spectrums! The harms vastly outweigh any benefit! The nanny state should F off!

My daughter works as zookeeper, mostly with reptiles and amphibians (and she loves them all). Incandescent lights are a mainstay for zoos because they are a heat and light source. These cold blooded animals need to have warmth to survive. With the incandescent bulbs being banned they must now purchase "reptile branded products." Which means much, much more expensive.

Same for those who keep chickens and use an incandescent light for warmth. Nothing but b.s. government overreach.... again.

Wow, by using LED bulbs, folks could save $100 a year? That gets a family what? Barely a weeks worth of groceries? Let folks decide where they want to scrimp and save.

not a good situation when a diver doesn't see that there is even a light there and the other person sees a green light.

they can install heaters, but who verifies the heaters work and how often, where as all a person has to do is look up at the traffic light and verify the light works.....

I wondered if specific bulbs would be exempted from the LED requirement. I recently bought some LED for my ceiling can lights and they didn’t work! The only reason I bought them is because they were all they had at Lowe’s. I’m sure they had quit carrying incandescent since they wouldn’t be able to sell them. But I had to return the LEDs and order incandescent online. I hope I don’t have to replace my fixtures when I run of of my stock!

Back when Dubya was President there was a move to get rid of incandescent bulbs. It was stopped from going forward even though BO tried to revive it. Mackinac Center a think tank in Michigan just published an article on how public demand should dictate product, not government mandating what shall be allowed. Apparently, the public is not biting on the new electric vehicles, but just like the light bulb, Brandon and several states are trying to ban the internal combustion engine. We ignored the light bulb, now will gas powered vehicles be next?

I told my husband if we would just stop buying their electric crap then they’d stop making the electric crap. Nope. All the manufacturers are calling the shots and they are ALL on the same page. So they make everything electric so we have nothing left to purchase but their electric crap! Takes the air out of the sail on supply and demand. Now it becomes, you vill buy vat ve say or off vith your head.

Not to mention, everything you buy for your home that’s electronic… is totally un fixable now… repairman comes and the tech is such that it’s not fixable (probably intentionally)… repairman says- too costly to fix, based on age, yadda, yadda… that’ll be a $200 service call -for nothing.

Yes. They want to mandate us into electric cars and plan to. Even though in our state we were warned last winter rolling blackouts were likely, due to a shortage of electricity!!!! 🤯 that makes sense… right??!

They are illegal to sell. They are not illegal to possess or use in a home (at least in Ohio, who knows about Commiefornia), not sure about businesses. LED bulbs destroy vision over time and their fast flashing can't be good for our minds. Don't believe they do? Get a digital SLR camera, set it for 1/2000 second and take photos of your local Christmas lights. Half of them will be out in some of the photos.

I've always hated looking at them b/c I felt they burned an afterimage longer than 'regular' lights.

When I taught--you know, before I had to leave bc mandates--one of my best students wrote a paper on why Incandescent theatre lighting was better than LEDs, which the industry was transitioning to. While most of the other students wanted to write generic cLiMatE cHAngE iS sO BaAdD!!!! papers, this one actually used her brain and personal interests to think analytically and creatively about her world. My hope is she was enough of an independent thinker to avoid all the hysteria re plandemic, but since she transferred to a better school I don't know.

Same thing they are doing to our gas powered tools and lawn mowers. It’s disgusting to try and go buy a gas powered anything and it’s hard to find them anymore. Ya gotta plug em all in! 😖 or charge the battery 10 times to mow your lawn! My neighbor told me that’s what he has to do. So he bought an old time push mower like the Amish use and that’s how he mows the front. 🤦🏼‍♀️ In Florida! In the heat and humidity of summer! 😡 Beyond ridiculous! It’s infuriating.
