    Interesting; this relates to local anti-nuclear legislation: https://berkeley.municipal.codes/BMC/12.90.030 . Turns out we have one of those in Colorado too: https://library.municode.com/co/boul...SASA_CH8NUFRZO

    Essentially a feel good law that consumes tax dollars and adds bureaucracy. There is a good perspective on it here: https://www.dailycal.org/2018/08/08/...e-consequences . They should sue the sun, because it's a nuclear reactor.

    The polar opposite would be this DIY fallout shelter video from the National Archives:

    Local council political statement, much favoured by the left in Europe too.

    A concrete ceiling would have been a good addition instead of wooden floor joists.

    From the video, "Ruth and I can live in here very comfortably for at least 2 weeks". I from my understanding, if you have a real fallout situation, hiding for 2 weeks is not really going to be of much help.

    Ain't that the truth, after a nuclear exchange you can expect to be sheltering for MANY months and with the infrastructure severely damaged no one is coming to help. That type of shelter would be handy for tornado prone areas.

    Yeah. The declarations of "Gun Free Zone" are working miracles........

    This reminds me of Marv K's observation on California Proposition 65, where 100's and 100's of compounds, elements, every day materials are declared 'known carcinogens"; including the very signage warnings appear on.
    Mr. K hypothesized suing the state for proliferating the issue.
    Let''s see, entire gang of leftist liberal loonies against 1 Marv.

    Calculating......... (insert strung out calculation here amid humorous pops and beeps)

    They don't stand a chance.

    Enforcement may be tricky-mark-twain.jpg “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ― Mark Twain

    I have tried to follow that advice for a long time. But this may not always be the right way to deal with idiots.

    Check out this headline, "City of Columbus plans to sue Hyundai, Kia over vehicle thefts"

    They arrest these kids almost daily, yet, the same kids are still stealing cars. We are talking about 12-13-14 year old kids, repeatedly stealing cars. They don't even chop them up to sell for parts. They just steal them, drive them around town crashing into people, cars, buildings, ponds, killing people. Sometimes themselves.

    Yep, lets sue the car makers, that will fix this!!!!!!

    Why not sue FakeBook, Insta-Spam, and the other "services" for spreading information allowing this to happen.

    OR,

    Better yet, sue Ajay Bhatt of Intel and the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum, Inc). The organization is comprised of industry leaders like Intel, Microsoft, Compaq, LSI, Apple and Hewlett-Packard that developed USB?

    Yes "Gun free zones" turning the law abiding into easily targeted, highlighted as safe for armed criminals, disarmed victims works everytime.

    Commifonicators Prop 65 is equally stupid, I buy US made toxic/explosive gas pressure control regulators (APTech) for our semi-con work, everyone has the Prop 65 stickers attached, regulators are made from stainless steel with a tiny amount of PEEK in the seat, the gases they'll be handling are far more and more immediately dangerous.
