Anyone who owns a leaf blower can eat a dick. There's nothing more American than using a gas-powered, unregulated, noisy fucking machine, to blow your garbage into your neighbor's yard for them to deal with.

Fuck leaf blowers and everyone that owns one. I've got a fucking rake and a broom.

But yeah... the regulation is petty and pointless and totally performative and does nothing to stop or reduce the carbon output of the 9 companies that produce more than 90% of the carbon emissions in the world. But it makes us liberals feel smug and superior, while the conservative fucksticks rake in the cash from the oil industry.
