They should follow Japanese corporate tradition and give him a seat in the Capitol overlooking the street—a “window man.” They can’t be fired, but they are given no work. If they stay in their jobs, they must sit at the window all day. In this way, everyone can see that they are considered useless where they work.
Maybe.
I really wish they would rescind this ridiculous ban on incandescent bulbs. The American people should be able to choose to use the new bulbs - not be forced to do so.
Down with Upton.
I can’t wait for the first lawsuit by some parent for Mercury poisoning from one of the curlie bulbs.
If you Googled “rich elitest snobs”, I would be shocked to not see an Upton family photo in the top 10 searches.
They were always in the “Herald Paladium”(or whatever they call it now) St.Joe-Benton Harbor newspaper (it covered at least 4 counties) “donating” at some charitable event or attending some “high society” function.
There is even an “Upton Drive” in St.Joe!!
For DECADES Lil’ Freddie’s realitives’ factories have put enough garbage in the ground (everything you can imagine just short of actual nuclear waste) and in the St.Joe River and Lake Michigan that will be there long after we are gone, and yet Lil’ Freddie thinks my light bulbs are killing the planet and takes them away.
I’ll tell ya what, the day when they pass the law that ANY Whirlpool stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer is required by law to use no more energy that my incandesant light bulbs do, then I might listen to Lil’ Freddie.
Until then he really needs to STFU.
He looks like a product of inbreeding. This is the first I’ve heard about him. Wow, he needs to be primaried, but I suppose the area suits him and that he has the name and money to stay in office for as long as he desires. The House Republicans shouldn’t give him a leadership position.
They were likely pressured by their largest buyer to do so. I'll not mention the company by name but one company pretty well dictates these days where things are made and even the quality to a great extent.
This company I'm talking about {not GE but it's largest retailer buyer} after it's founder died was basically taken over and ran by liberals. A company that for many years built it's name on selling products MADE IN THE USA actually. First to go was made in USA policy to a make it in China or Mexico for us cheaper policy.
The company I'm talking about was known for demanding lower quality products with well known brand names be made outside the USA to drive down cost. That same company also went on a GREEN ENERGY kick and these bulbs were basically the beginning of it. The bulbs fit right in with their new reduced on hand inventory to an on time delivery inventory system which often leaves it's shelves bare. Can anyone guess what corporation I'm talking about? One clue. Snapper Mowers said no to them.
Many rich persons especially the ones who inherit their mega fortunes seem to forget where their money initially came from and the principles that earned it.
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.

How soon and who are the folks involved in picking and choosing?
Tea Party needs to VET every appointment ... WE WON and elections have consequences
Just have to figure out how to twist arms now
TT
Some of these things seem to flicker even when they’re off....anyone else observed that?
Anyone who makes a law banning an item that has been legal for a century should be drummed out of his job.
That is so anti-free market that it he might as well be a liberal socialist.
I was hoping that maybe we could our lightbulbs back. With the Republicans winning the House, I thought there might be a move to get rid of this silly legislation. It would appear that the answer is no.
You can get incandescent light bulbs rated for 25,000 hours that are used by the hospitality industry. If you use them for an average of 7 hours a day they’ll burn out in just a little under 10 years and cost about a buck or less per bulb depending on how many you buy.

Once you stock up all you’ll have to do is watch out for the light bulb police who’ll be monitoring everyone who might be using those unauthorized, evil incandescents!
