To summarize:

Incorrect thoughts are a public health emergency.  :facepalm:

Political prisons?

Possibly.  Public health emergencies do permit quarantining.  I'm sure if I looked, I could find such "thought crime" justifications by the Nazis in the '30s for concentration camps.

 

Hell, American Progressives accuse every incoming Republican politician of wanting to do just that.  Would it be at all surprising if they were projecting their own principles onto the opposition?

One of these days I'm going to go through the past 25-30 years of Democrat/Progressive accusations against Republicans, and see how many Dems/Progs themselves have implemented.

 

(Note that I separate Democrats and Progressives, because the Dems of 25 years ago have nothing at all to do with the Progressive Democratic Party of today.)

That really should be a slam-dunk of a case.  

 

And the Supreme Court should hear it, given that the Ninth Circus is - of course - in conflict with the Third and Eleventh Circuit Courts.  That the Ninth decided that counselor-patient relationship isn't privileged, but should be government regulated, is terrifying as shit.

State .gov run amok

 

New York Close to Passing Statewide Gas Stove Ban on New Homes

Quote

... New York state is reportedly close to enacting the nation’s first legislative ban on gas stoves for most new construction, including single-family homes and commercial buildings.

 

Amid a statewide uproar over the plan, the Democrat-led state legislature is set to advance the move as part of Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul’s $227 billion budget blueprint, which heavily focuses on phasing out the use of fossil fuels with a commitment to creating a “cleaner, healthier environment for future generations.”

If passed as is, the measure would prohibit the installation of “fossil fuel equipment” and building systems in the construction of new one-family and smaller multi-family homes, beginning on Dec. 31, 2025. The same prohibition would apply to new larger multi-family homes and commercial buildings starting on Dec. 31, 2028.

 

This policy means that any new apartments or homes built after the effective dates wouldn’t be allowed to have many other common fossil fuel household items, including furnaces, water heaters, and clothes dryers. The term “fossil-fuel equipment” actually covers a wide range of oil- or gas-powered plumbing, heating, lighting, insulating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigerating equipment, as well as elevators and escalators that run on fossil fuel. ...

So what happens when the grid goes down in the middle of winter because of all the extra power being drawn, and people aren’t allowed to have backup generators because they’re fossil fuel appliances?

But when it happens in summer, it’s a minor inconvenience and you might need to throw out the contents of your refrigerator. When it happens in winter people die of hypothermia in their homes.

One of the best things about NYS energy is the abundance of natural gas. It is relatively inexpensive and clean, great for cooking and heating. So, of course it needs to be outlawed. :facepalm:

Damn, no more coal-powered escalators and elevators.  

 

(I want to actually read the budget rather than rely on the article, because...c'mon, Epoch Times.  But "no more coal-powered escalators" is still pretty damn funny.)
