[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Just to be clear, you prefer to see poor children in DC suffer from asthma and increased risk of diabetes and cancer rather than be provided with an affordable means of reducing those risks? How many children are you willing to see suffer simply because you don't like Charles Allen?[/quote] Jeff, seriously? You fell for that "study"? DC would be better off getting rid of rats. There is a larger health impact to the city's kids based on rats and mosquitoes running/flying unchecked in DC. [/quote] I don't know what "study" you think I fell for, but there are dozens of studies going back decades. But again, the legislation doesn't force anyone to do anything. I just provides an opportunity. Why do you oppose that?[/quote] The Stanford study quoted in the WaPo article is considered the "Gold Standard" and even it had to use plastic wrapped kitchens to produce the results required for the study. The same study also mentions that any plastic wrapped room in the house will eventually show contaminated air. Imagine that, we need ventilation in our homes. Anyway, it is not really a choice. That is the greenwashing. It also introduces a new tax in the form of an additional permitting fee for gas appliance installations. Is the bill going to also buy the new induction cook top recipients new cookware? Is it going to deliver hot food during power outages? [/quote]
