Update of "How Bans are Wrongly Justified"

 
I have edited and changed parts of "How Bans are Wrongly Justified",
(formerly called The Deception behind the Arguments used to ban Light Bulbs and other Products) post and page,
including the sections on Industrial Politics, Alternative Policies (taxation, market competition), and in answering "Old Obsolescent" criticism.

Missouri bill launched

 

Just learned that Missouri local state Rep. Chuck Gatschenberger and Bart Korman have also, January 4, launched a bill 1146, that "Specifies that the intrastate manufacturing of certain incandescent lightbulbs is not subject to federal law or regulation".
The bill has on January 19 been referred to the House Small Business Committee.



Missouri also had an earlier bill (2468) in 2010 with Cynthia Davis as chief sponsor, that stalled.




More to follow.

 

On the recent so bad descent of the indecent incandescent

 

Of a light sentence you were told,
Now sentence of a light behold,
Yes dear light, we have your measure,
Now you'll rest at our rulers pleasure!
