President Biden’s Department of Energy announced in May of last year that the President signed an executive order that bans the sale of the old-fashioned lightbulbs. The claim is that it will save Americans billions of dollars annually whilst reducing carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years. The order took effect in April, which ordered retailers and businesses to stop selling them starting the 1st of August.
‘Manufacturers who violate the ban could face a maximum penalty of $542 per illicit bulb,’ NewsNation reported.
Many took to social media to challenge Biden’s move. One user wrote: “Brandon’s incandescent light bulb ban goes into effect next week. You might not be able to pay your mortgage or afford groceries, but at least Joe is going after the important stuff like lightbulbs,” said commentator Tomi Lahren.
Many comments also noted the well-documented studies concerning the negative effects of prolonged exposure to LED lights. SEE: Scientists Warn That The Push For LED Lights Are Not Healthy For Us And The Environment
NewsNation also noted: ‘the average cost of an LED light bulb ranges from $5 to $7 each while an incandescent light bulb would normally range from $2 to $3 a bulb, according to a report from Lifehacker. However, LED bulbs save money in the long run because they use less energy to run and last longer.’
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
Job 24:13
Welcome to the New World Disorder: we now have to go on the black market and underground sellers to get incandescent lights. Hopefully you can find a store that is giving them out at clearance.
I mean, imagine, meeting with your dealer in the shadow of the night asking, ‘do you have any 70 Watts’?’ (!).
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“Hey man, you got the stuff?”
“Yeah man, I got the stuff. These are really nice. Edison style, 120v, 40w, 2200k temp… these babies will really light you up and bring you back to the olden days, bro.”
Stupid clown show. At least they’re not banning candles (and the like) yet.
Off topic, I came across news about a drag queen topping iTunes Christian chart, and this app “text With Jesus” where people can have convos with Jesus and other biblical characters.
