Someone finally sues C.A.R.B

But who measures the cow FARTS to get the correct methane production?

 

We were hoping you would give up your lucrative career in trucking and tackle this one.
Call 800-GOT- GASS for full particulars.

 

We have to remember that this is Commiefornia...the same state that is planning a lawsuit on big oil, not just the companies that do business in the state, but all oil producers because, their argument states, that world wide pollution created by fossil fuel production and use eventually has a negative effect on California, so they're going after ALL oil producers.

And they are also trying to draft legislation for an "exit tax" on all of the uber rich that are planning on leaving the state because of the high taxes and this tax will be calculated using ALL the assets of these individuals, not just the assets within the state.

This is all just another money grab, so I hope this lawsuit does some good, but I personally don't think it has a snowball's chance of succeeding.

 

This is not the free market at work. You can’t consider draconian laws and regulations as free market. People who no longer want to be represented by these tyrants cannot just stop paying their income and property taxes in disagreement, as ultimately violence would be used against them.

 

Only govt is capable of creating monopolies. Consumer choice could surely dictate large businesses, but that would be through the freedom of choice because the company/s are offering the best product for the best price. At any moment, competitors could come along, offering a better product or service and there goes the large conglomerate.

That, or poor economic decisions by the company means they will go out of business because they cannot be bailed out via the theft of the fruits of people’s labor.

 

Rules and regulations are part of the 'free market', whether they come from governments or private sector agreements - provided they are applied equally without favor or privilege.

Non-government entities have done a pretty good job of creating monopolies. They usually then take over the government. Then violent rebellion occurs. Then the process starts over.

 

There’s natural law and then there’s law written by politicians that benefit select companies.

Non govt entities were aided by govt to create their monopolies.

Yes, the market can form rules and regulations. ASME, UL and others. Outside of that, in a free market, consumers have the ultimate say whether a company survives or not. Even a free market regulatory body would go out of business were they to approve defective devices and so on.

The expansion of credit doesn’t come from the people, it comes from the central bank and govt. and used to prop up bad economic actors or subsidize their donors. This is outside of the free market and the voices and choices of capital investors and the consumers.

 

Yep. its like the "use by" dates on bottled water. NJ requires it and its easier to just put it on all of them rather than trying to keep track of 2 different (yet the same) products.

 

Well look who ox is getting gored now...
The railroad industry is all beside themselves about a CARB regulation requiring a certain percentage of locomotives to be totally electric.
By 2030. or they can't go into California. (Where have we heard that before?)

Now they have the option of stringing catenary wires above the tracks, something trucking can't do.
And they don't even want to bear that cost.
