I don't really have a position on the issue one way or the other, but it is insane how quickly this somewhat small issue (compared to stuff that everyone has been talking about for decades, like abortion) became part of the culture war, I already see "come and take it" memes being made.

    Stopped reading here. Whatever comes next is irrelevant to real people. Maybe his fusion induced micro-unicorn omni heater is the best thing ever, but I can't afford it. I have electric glasstop stoves and they suck.

      what, if, and give me a little bit of rope here, there were building and housing codes that required full electrification and updated appliances? i mean who would resist that? besides landlords/capitalists, who are in the minority.

      i guess they would have to recruit "i luv 2 cook with gas only" lumpenproles to re brand it as a cultural issue.
