Then again... "Does 'Monterey's coast' mean anything to you guys?" ~ Marty ("No more secrets")
Re that Gold Star monitor: The company is hardly defunct. It's progress. With plenty of rope in hand.
An unidentified pizza shop owner expressed strong opposition to the proposed mandate and blasted politicians and bureaucrats for meddling with their pizza ovens. "This is an unfunded mandate and it's going to cost us a fortune -- not to mention ruining the taste of the pizza -- totally destroying the product," he said.

If the mandate passes, restaurants with wood and coal-fired ovens would be required to hire an engineer or architect to evaluate the viability of installing emission control devices with the aim of attaining a 75% decrease in particulate emissions. In the event that isn't possible, alternatives must be considered to potentially reduce emissions by at least 25%.
Restaurants have the option to seek a variance or waiver, but they must provide compelling evidence demonstrating a hardship to justify an exception.
Yet another living parable about the worthless, control freak, sitting-pretty Can't-Do people. This time they're going after the pizza dude. Let us build with frustrate and destroy you under the banner of good.
The sons of Belial are always at the ready with yet another righteous, not-to-be-questioned "common-sense rule."
Ezra 4
1. And when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the exiles were building the temple for the Lord God of Israel:
2. They came to Zerubbabel, and to the chiefs of the fathers' houses and said to them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esar-Haddon, king of Assyria, who brought us up here:
3. And Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chiefs of the fathers' houses of Israel, said to them, You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves alone will build to the Lord God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us:
4. And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and made them afraid to build:
5. And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia:
A free, enterprising Can-Do People will only put up with oppression for just so long. Messing with a man's pizza oven, now that's crossing the line.
