BTR1701 has regularly informed us of some of the more ludicrous aspects
of life in uber-regulated California. For those of us interested in a
deep dive into these matters, I'd like to recommend a recent episode of
the Triggernometry podcast:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2rEHpmpV9A [1 hour]

The guest is Steve Hilton, currently leading the pack among the
competitors to replace Gavin Newsom. (Of course it's still a fair while
until the gubernatorial election in California.)

While a long-form show like this won't be everyone's cup of tea, I think you'll find that the hosts are very good and the guest very articulate;
this is NOT a dry recitation of talking points (nor is it ever on this podcast, regardless of the guest).

Oh, the race is over. We hit the bottom a while ago and then Gavin Newsom started digging.

I have every confidence that Zorhan Mamdani intends to compete.

Protecting rats is far more important than protecting people, don't you
know?

California faces an unprecedented fuel infrastructure challenge as 473 independent gas stations prepare to close on January 1st, 2026.

In this video, we break down what's actually driving this crisis. A 2014
state law requires all underground storage tanks to be upgraded from single-walled to double-walled systems by the end of 2025. The upgrades
cost approximately $2 million per station u a financial barrier many independent operators cannot overcome.

We'll dive into the RUST loan program that was designed to help small
stations cover upgrade costs, the multi-year application delays that left owners unable to complete work before the deadline, and the $5,000 per
day penalties that force immediate closure for non-compliant stations.

Finally, we look at the human and economic impact u rural communities
losing their only fuel source, the gap between electric vehicle adoption
rates and gasoline infrastructure decline, and what happens to fuel
prices when competition disappears from local markets.

This entire problem can easily be averted merely by amending the statute or regulation to extend the deadline, especially since it was the government itself that caused all these gas stations to miss it.

But of course they're not interested in solutions, just their 'climate change' religious rituals.

"they banned a certain kind of rodenticide", but doesn't
say what it is.

So he's not saying that rat poison is banned.

Rat poison is known to kill kitty cats, owls, and other
predators of rats, which I assume is the reason for the
ban for a particular type of rat poison.

Talking about how the entire Western world is being systematically dismantled by leftist ideology obviously bothers super70s so we must redouble our
efforts.
