It gets even more insane! Californiaās clean air standards for cars and other such things are so much higher than everyone elseās! So if a car manufacturer in Detroit wants to sell their damn cars in California, they need to build their cars to California clean air standards. But retooling an assembly line and car design to have some cars meet California clean air standards, while building others to other clean air standards is a lot of work, so car manufacturers all over the country have to build all their cars to California clean air standards.
Which is why California went into an uproar earlier this year when the Federal Government tried to argue that states canāt set their own environmental guidelines!Ā āFuck you!ā says California,Ā āwe remember Los Angeles in the 80s, how bad the smog gets, go pollute your own damn air over in your own damn state where there isnāt a thermal inversion layer to trap all the smog down near ground level!ā
āBut youāre making it soooo haaaaaard to sell our cars everywhere else!ā they whine.
āFuck you!ā California shouts.Ā āAnd while weāre at it, we donāt give a shit what you say, Mister President, weāre gonna open our damn states when weāre good and ready, and our friends Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and Washington State agree! Also, weāve decided to legalize weed!ā
āBut the Federal Government says itās illegal!ā shouts the other states.
āFuck you, we make the drug laws in our state, and we say toke up!ā
āNow, hang on!ā shouts the Federal government.Ā āYou can legalize weed in your state, but all banks are federal agencies, so if your weed dispensaries set up bank accounts, those accounts have money from illegal practices in it and are subject to seizure by the federal government!ā
āFINE!ā shouts California.Ā āHey, weed guys, you can keep selling weed, but you can only deal in cash!ā
āHow the fuck is that supposed to work!?ā
āI DONāT FUCKING KNOW, TAKE IT UP WITH DC!ā
āBy the way, if youāre gay married elsewhere, we wonāt recognize it,ā mutters Texas.
āOH FUCK YOUUUUUUU!āĀ
And so it goes and so it goesā¦
