It sure is going to be tough for the light bulb manufacturing lobby to sell light bulbs when we’re all dead thanks to catastrophic climate change.

This is all pure spite but I think the momentum to LEDs is to far gone to stop now.

That doesn’t even make sense. What’s next? I hereby direct you to turn your thermostats up to 80ºF in the winter and down to 65ºF in the summer, and leave your lights on when you are not home.

A light bulb that uses 1/6th the power, provides the same warm colored light, and lasts 10 years. Can’t understand why people might prefer it.

Makes perfect sense once you accept that most modern “conservatives” are driven by spite. Greed plays a role with leadership and the powerplayers, but the base is all about inflicting pain on the other, be that POC, the LGBT community, or just “Libs” in general.

Absolutely. Donnie Trump and his ignorant toadies seem to be obsessed with extinguishing human life on this planet for their own amusement.

I actually believe that the administration is trying to hasten climate change in order to open shipping lanes through the polar ice cap. This further explains their recent fascination with Greenland.

Why doesn’t he just nuke us all and be done with it. The man is absolutely committed to creating a dystopia.

There is something poetic about this. The light bulb has always symbolized a bright idea.

donnie’s minions are switching off the newest and brightest of these ideas. I think he is jealous because he has never had an original, bright idea.

And as the orange one continues to shed staff, who will be left in the WH to turn off the lights once this badministration is through with it?
