Yes! And to think NYC’s biggest problem years ago was a Big Gulp!
What type of leaf blower do you use?

I suppose those afraid of leaf blowers because of their effect on pollution, noise, and particulate dispersion could move to the city and instead get their version of pollution, noise and particulate dispersion.

Good grief. I couldn’t get past 5 minutes of that nonsense.

I skipped through the video in 20 seconds. It sounds like the typical BS coming from the woke left. Ban gas leaf blowers, ban gas stoves, ban air conditioners.



In a few years, they will try to ban meat. Mark my words.

Climate change is a cult for those who abandoned religion and need something else dogmatic to fill the void. At its core it's a Malthusian death cult that actually wants to reduce the number of people because they believe humans are destroying the planet.

That's the only reason they still oppose nuclear power, which would actually provide limitless clean energy without having to rely on renewables that don't delivery what they promise.

That's the only reason they bully third-world countries into not damming their rivers or investing in petroleum based energy generation , so that people in Africa are reduced to burning trees for heat and cooking, giving off far more pollution than they would have if they developed.

That's the only reason they support electric cars when they must know we have crumbling infrastructure that couldn't possibly charge all of them (and the public chargers are often stolen and sold for copper).

That's the only reason they try to saddle us with solar and wind power that are filled with heavy metals mined in the worst places in the world and don't even return the energy they cost to make.

That's the only reason they come down hard on meat producers, when their alternative is mono-crop agriculture that is actually far worse for the environment and cannot produce nearly enough protein to support our populations.

I could go on, but these people are beyond frustrating to deal with.

They just woke me up! However, it wasn’t my landscaper. It was the gentleman who is power washing my pavers & re-sanding/cementing them.

Does that count? I want to make sure I’m not complaining for nothing.

I'm sure they could make the same argument, "using a two-cycle gas power washer is noisy, bad for the environment, bad for worker safety, and kicks up crap into the air". It's just that they haven't yet.
