In fairness, the idea of banning gas stoves is objectively stupid.

A deranged ex Crossfit instructor and a pathological liar. They're not sending their best, are they?

And do you think the IRS independently decided to do this because they're eeeeevil or because the wealthy have too much control over the government?

They're not trying to ban gas stoves, they're offering incentives to replace them with electric ranges.

WH: We’ll give you tax breaks and vouchers to change.

Lunatics: They’re trying to take away my freedom.

Note: I decided against multiple condos when I was searching specifically so I could get a gas range.

Then this guy needs to be a bit smarter with his language.

“This is a hidden hazard,” Mr. Trumka said an interview with Bloomberg on Monday. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”

My point stands - the idea is stupid and someone in his position raising it as a possibility is also stupid.

Yeah, every heat source in a house is a potential hazard. That's really not a great argument.

I guess the issue is the lack of venting.  To my knowledge, I believe other natural gas products have included venting of the fumes.  I know my furnace and gas logs vent it out automatically.  With a stove, you have to actively turn on the vent above.

I don't know enough about the research yet.

I will say cooking with gas is soooo much better.

It has been code since forever to install a hood vent over a gas stove. "But people might not use it so we should consider restricting use of gas stoves" is no different to "people might not use seatbelts so we should consider not letting them drive cars".

Lois…what about Lois?  Looking at whom she and her IRS operatives specifically targeted was not based on ‘wealth’ but more their political POV and moreover that she had to resort to pleading the 5th like some underworld thug (this the head of a government agency mind you) is beyond the pale and by any objective standard should give pause….pretty chilling…

yes

In other news: hey George ’the embelisher’ Santos you lying sack of shlt, it’s pretty freaking sad when your own party—and in your own backyard no less—refuses to recognize you (calling you “a fraud”) and instead is calling for your immediate resignation.  Maybe read the tea leaves Pinocchio….
