I don't usually bring politics here on the SS unless it's for a very good reason.

But since a lot of what we do here in our own industry and how it affects how we make a living I'm going to share a particular youtube video of Senator Ted Cruz asking the president of Sierra Club some very, very simple questions that he's (Sierra Club) not up for discussing or debating. In fact the head of Sierra club is taking a political position instead of acting objectively.

The environmental (product safety) movement is or "green" as most know it, has killed our industry like many others, especially when it comes to the electric sign trade, lighting components and certain sectors of our trade, in particular Neon & Fluorescent lighting. Even to force manufacturers to spend more money on products they sell i.e. ballasts and transformers just to save energy somewhere under a false notion of "Green", or saving the planet. A lot of times these new imposed regulation prices out consumers, and makes products less reliable in place for other products which are pushed by lobbyists who represent a product that under normal circumstances can't stand on their own merit, and instead need to be handicapped, and even so far as to be funded in subsidies by tax payers (you and I) because normal economics of a free market or supply and demand don't apply. Government gets to pick the winner, not the consumer.

This Environmental movement has been backed and glorified by our own sign industry establishment base, or as we all know them...Sign Associations who have repeatedly ignored fact just like what we see in the video that has enabled outsiders to mis-characterizes and mis-lead members and help sway public opinion into the "Green" movement which is nothing more than executing statements but never fully explaining.

There is probably no bigger fish and obstacle for the free market that road blocks everyones right to prosper than the Sierra Club who has the ability to file lawsuit after lawsuit and has the protection of our own government to fire back.

So here they are, unable to answer a simple question much like our own establishment base because it's in THEIR best interest to not answer.

Our good tax dollars at work against us, and keeping us from prosperity.

I made it 6 mins and had to tap out. This is why you don't argue with idiots. Eventually they'll drag you down to their level. Then beat you with experience.

Yeah, that's the head puppet for the man in the back. The main reason why our cost of living here in California is pricing everyone and business out. The reason why we can't build more energy plants why we have a man made drought, etc etc

Even if you don't want to read the book State of Fear by Michael Crichton, read the appendix - it's a free download online, and there's interesting stuff on his website.
