Love, everybody
What a pathetic joke. CARB. Moonbeam, California, sad so many have stuck it out here for all these years only to be kicked in the head again.. and again by unelected elitists with carbon anxiety.
papers were crowing it was a hugh success and went smoothly. they lied.. nothing new, they lie all the time.. it’s a liebral thing, I guess.. we’ll see where they run when the state bellies up and goes Reconquista. at least the air will be clean,, except for the dung being burnt for heat and cooking.. Stick that in your carb, CARB.
Yes,it is pathetic. I think a list of all purchasers will be released Monday. Then we’ll know who had additional business expense this month and need to recoup it, next month.
