Does it make any of the rest of you nervous that the people titularly in charge of the rest of us are fucking loons?
Tough auto emissions standards backed by Gov. Charlie Crist cleared a hurdle when a Florida commission gave its approval to rules fiercely opposed by car industry lobbyists but praised by environmentalists as a way to fight global warming.
The Environmental Regulation Commission voted 6-1 on Tuesday to adopt California’s emissions rules as a way of lowering greenhouse gases, which many scientists blame for global warming. It would force auto makers to sell more fuel-efficient cars in Florida, which they say will drive up prices and limit availability.
First off, I’m in the Global Warming Is BULLSHIT camp. Let’s just get that right out there in the open. It’s a scam, elevated to a rend-your-clothes, ashes-poured-over-your-head, goat-sacrificing Religion by special interest groups. Oh, and this fat fuck.
Mister Liberty Girl had to endure this sham when he was still in the Navy and living in Virginia. Garages have to pay exorbitant fees to the state to qualify as an inspection station, and then seem to think this licenses them to “upsell” anyone who walks through the door. “Well, your emissions are fine, but your tires are looking a little worn there, Ms. Gullible.”
Yeah, this is going to work out just great.
