It looks like part of the brilliant, intellectual-genius, morally-superior Progressive community is beginning to think with brains that have been dormant for a long time.

Just go back a hundred years and you could have bought Myrtle Beach for a dollar an acre from what I have been told years ago by those who were old enough at the time to remember. Now you can’t buy a single doughnut for a dollar. Who knows, it could happen again.
It will start to snow in September 2024. And it will not stop.
That raises another issue concerning pollution standards. We impose restrictions on US plants, but don't require our trading partners to do likewise. That puts US plants at a disadvantage.
Now I remember enough of the good old days to recall all of the sludge dumped into our rivers and smoke poured into the air, and developing the technology to prevent that is fine with me. But if we're going to hold ourselves to that standard, why not our trading partners for the same reasons?
This isn't free trade, it's economic suicide.
Lead-based paints for use in households or public buildings were banned in 1977. Obama’s EPA added this:
From Wikipedia: “In April of 2010 the US Environmental Protection Agency required that all renovators working in homes built before 1978 and disturbing more than six square-feet of lead paint inside the home or 20 square feet outside the home be certified. EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) lowers the risk of lead contamination from home renovation activities. It requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools (any child occupied facility) built before 1978 be certified by EPA and use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices. [9]”
You would think your local building department would apply some common sense to save everybody some time and money.
I don’t know much about California politics but I do get the feeling that there probably has been a rino/conservative battle going on for some time and the rinos won. If California had some real conservatives running without being hamstrung by the rinos I think you would find a lot of great changes in California. I kind of get the impression that Californias’ versions of Boehner and McConnel might have destroyed the party.
A caller to the Jeff Kuhner show here in Massachusetts hit the nail on the head, he said that the Republican donor class pick people that are weak, spineless and easy to control.
you sound like you’d like to know a little more about the gop in ca.
ok i found the gop in ca was absolutely dead when i got interested in politics 6 years ago. as far as i know nothing has changed except for the worse. the tea party revolution was almost completely shutdown and subverted here by the gop. about the same time i met a very accomplished man who had knowledge very high up in both parties who confirmed the deep corruption in and long time cooperation between both major parties.
nothing says more about a party then the people they recruit to run. so i’ll give you an example: back in the day, i actually volunteered to work for a gop candidate who was named Forest Baker, a self proclamed intellectual and moderate know-it-all, who was running against the evil stark (raving mad) in the eastbay of ca.
anyway ol’ Forest turned down my contribution and said he didn’t need any help from me. he had his own network and method of running a sort of low key campaign. that was his answer. that in a nutshell is the nature of the ca gop.
suffice it to say i turned to an independent who was running in the race against stark immediately. ultimately we defeated stark using his own party and the independent candidate we supported to split the vote against him. halleluia that was a good day. the rewriting of the rules had gone far enough to give us openings they hadn’t thought of.
anyway, if your interested to see the prototype gop candidate in ca, look him up. do a search on him. his facebook, website, etc., unbelieveable. and yet year after year he was stark’s opponent. a reasonable person has to conclude that the fix was in for that district to keep it dem.
and btw, romney (gope), owns all of it how ever corrupt and decrepit it is here. the districts are rigged into safe seats for both parties and the parties write their rules to keep independents out. ca is miserable as a result and going down like the titanic. it has been that way for years according to insiders i know. how did Reagan, a true conservative, break in amongst the gop cinos? that i really don’t know. divine providence is the best explanation i can come up with.
Some especially sadistic liberals have even advocated starving arugula of its essential nutrient!
Oh no, they are sadistic also.
Dirty bass-turds....there is no end to the myriad of ways they can and do get “all-up” ion your business.....Don’t even get me started about requiring us to trench through 100’ of sidewalk and driveway so our gutters drain into the storm drains rather than into the bak lawn (10’ away...)
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

Please ping me to all note-worthy threads on global warming.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here, and here
Simple idiocy.
Fascinating,
Half way through your post, where you say that ol’ Forest turned down your money, I thought hmmm I wonder if Forest is being paid to take a dive. By the end of the post I realized that is exactly what it was.
Thanks, very enlightening. Oh, the many twisted paths of political corruption. Just when you think you know it all you learn of political candidates actually collaborating with the other party to fool the voters. Only in America, but no, this probably goes on in all corrupt countries throughout the world.
DON’T KID YOURSELF.
Just to let you in on a little Federal and State secret; all those CERTIFIED RENOVATORS/INSPECTORS for lead based paint AND asbestos abatement are nothing but a bunch of WETBACKS who can’t even speak english.
At least here in California they are.
You got it on the first guess.
The EPA has accountability?
Since when?
I think you’re right.
