Leftists think they know how to run everyone’s lives for them.
Busybodies run amuck.
Meanwhile their own lives are Dumpster Fires.
They ooze into every pore of modern life. I just got another doze of that a couple days ago. Our gas fireplace is worn out and we need a replacement. All the new ones have screens on them. Recall you used a screen on a wood-burning fireplace to keep sparks and embers from landing on your carpet; but there’s no need for that with a gas fireplace.
The government busybodies found that some kids got burned by touching the hot glass of a gas fireplace. Instead of just accepting that kids will learn a lesson (fire is hot - do not touch), they MANDATED every gas fireplace now have screens.
I don’t want a screen. I don’t need a screen. But the damnable government busybodies decided EVERYBODY gets a screen.
