Breaking News! 8,000 people are going to die! Why? Something about some boiler, according to California's idiot senator Barbara Boxer. Check it out.

"....because it includes a provision that would delay regulations on industrial boilers."
Here's my prediction for today. The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl.
As a very effective poster on the DC transit system points out:

Yes, Gary, the reason air pollution is an issue is because it does kill people. Not as dramatically as the events you like to focus on, but it is fatal to someone, sometimes, and others live with the emphysema.
Whenever someone goes on disability because of an air pollution generated injury, taxpayers are subsidizing the company that generated the pollution. Restore free enterprise: make the company pay the full cost of doing business.
Siarlys,
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you dig into this and find support for Boxer's prediction of 8,000 deaths?
8,000 deaths are just like Planned Parenthood Clinics give Mammograms and Pap Smears.
ReplyDeleteWhy should I? I don't run a research lab. That's enough work I would want to get paid for it. Are you picking up the tab?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you footnote where Boxer got her figures from, and dissect whether they are credible, instead of dismissing out of hand the possibility that deregulation boilers might, in fact, result in 8000 deaths?
Nah, Gary just wanted to poke fun at Barbara Boxer, he didn't want to show a factual basis for his disdain.
GARY,
ReplyDeleteI think the the story goes like this: Boxer warns of the dangers of "Boiler-Plate" emanating from her Senate office? Please warn the aide about the danger.
