Time to take the chainsaws to the California Capital Bld.. Just make sure it's at night. According to the precedence of leftest judges in other leftest states, it's not an insurrection if it's at night and no one's home. Of course, we all know, no one is EVER at home in the California Capital.

Those Congressmen aren’t worried about any of their constituents. They are more interested in passing bills to benefit special interest groups and skimming a little off in the process.
Yep, we have the best legislators money can buy.

Well I'd never mow my grass again..lol.
Id need a truck load of batteries here to mow all my grass for sure. It took us half a day with 2 bats just to weed eat a few parts of what I usually trim using my buddies Crapsman battery trimmer last summer.
Seems the powers at will never mow their own yard but hire others to do it instead or they'd know bats suck with big yards. Especially hilly too like mine is, it's surely a big battery drainer I bet.
Also they'll soon learn the hard way how power grids cant support all the power needed for everyone charging all at once.
Hoover drying up now, many more plants across the country shutting down so move all your toilet paper over folks we'll have to hoard candles soon too. Geeez!

You get the government you vote for. Obvioussly the voters in california want this. I have no sympathy for California. If their taxes to go to 100% so be it. Everyone is entitled to their politics and to vote for who they want. If your candidate does stupid stuff don't complain to me.
"You get the government you vote for" Yes,serves 'em right! Everyone who voted for the clowns that passed this law needs to mow their lawns with an old style reel-type push mower like grandpa had! Problems, emissions-wise are solved!

Going to be interesting when a storm rolls through, trees all over the roads, power out and all the electric chain saws have dead batteries. What are all the lawn service folks going to do, aren’t any electric mowers that will run all day.

I gather battery operated grass trimmers, chainsaws, etc... will have a boost in sales. I would like to now which battery operated tools will become more popular with professional lawn care business. I haven't had much success at finding reviews and comparisons between different makes. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe we shouldn't knock this battery powered stuff too quickly. They may be a lot easier to work on than gas engines.

Just sayin.

I came here to NorCal in 1969, the weekend of Woodstock, via the U.S.A.F.
It was quite lovely then in Northern CA, and still would be if the idiots did not let the Homeless have more rights than the Homeowners today..
California pretty much the entire state has always been the grower of more than one half of all the nations produce, etc... We even export the absolute best quality of it to other countries that will pay to have it air shipped to Norway, etc... It goes all over the world, every day..
In another career, I personally saw those hundreds of thousands of acres of rich farmland in the Central Valley, just green for as far as you could see and then miles past that, growing all the stuff you see at your grocery store produce section every day...
It was breathtakingly beautiful!!!! Walk into an orchard of Meyer Lemon Trees in bloom, several thousand acres deep--- Heaven must smell like that...
The reason this unbelievably stupid gas engine thing may happen is because that useless, drunk clown governor, Nuisance Newsom, nephew of Skeletor Nancy Pelusa', got installed here, and then got mad because over 1 million people voted to Recall his dumb butt, so he fixed that election, and he kept the job..
He is angry at CA and is looking at making our lives as miserable as possible..
He is even mandating all Retail outlets have a Gender Neutral Section or something idiotic like that too...
No more Girls clothing, Boys clothing, etc., Now, it will be Girls, Boys, and Gender Blah Blah, idiotic stuff..
For our Children!!! I cannot even imagine the conversation that will take place between this Idiot and the Savior one day... Gavin, Gavin, you did this???? Why???? Do you see how it hurt all these Children???
Of course, No Batteries whatever, will ever work for all the zillions of Lawn Companies doing zillions of miles of yard work every week... How will they charge them from the back of the old Pickup truck they drive several hundred thousand miles at a time???
It is the most idiotic thing ever to come out of that idiot's head to date...
Well, I take that back -- making a Children's Gender Whatever Section in all our Stores ----

I remember a time when toilet paper was so plentiful that we'd wrap peoples tree's with it. lol
