Why do you support that law? Why not instead allow freedom of choice?
Of course it's OK; elitists decided for the collective, which I am not a part of.
He is waiting for Big Brother to take power so he will never need nor have the opportunity to decide for himself. He is looking forward to an Orwellian dystopia.
I don't disagree with the cost savings for LEDs and have a few myself. My issue with the law is not what I choose to use as light - whether it be LEDs or incandescents. It's a bad law because it was the US government creating a law to help a business kill competition. We should, as citizens, be against this type of behavior and our lawmakers should not be able to pass this kind of BS and then later say, 'oh well, too late now'. It was wrong to pass then and wrong to keep as law now.
I asked if you were young because I wasn't sure you were old enough to remember how this all came about.
Honestly, I don't care so much about businesses as much as I care about me and my family. It saves us a lot of money. Incandescents are money eaters.
Well I guess you will just have to manufacture them to give to your friends for free.
Yes, I love supporting a law that makes incandescent bulbs obsolete and ends the manufacture of them.

Well it was a good book, and probably one of my most favorite books I have ever read.
So now society is going to collapse because a few old guys can't get their incandescent light bulbs? That has to be one of the biggest stretch I have ever heard.
This is just another in a long line of boneheaded, knee jerk reactionary measures that are supposed to benefit the environment but were never thought through.
Let's make an “environmentally-friendly” green light bulb out of MERCURY – one of the most toxic environmental poisons in the world. It will require a special hazardous cleanup procedure if broken, it will
need to be disposed of at special hazardous waste facilities if you don't want the landfills to become contaminated with mercury.
Let's use Ethanol and LITERALLY BURN FOOD AS FUEL while there are food shortages and people are starving!
Let's switch to plastic bags to save the trees and generate 4 times the solid waste that can last up 1,000 years.
Let's ban DDT based on the alarmist book, Silent Spring and watch Malaria spread needlessly.
