I called my senators and representative. I signed a couple petitions online.

It doesn’t seem to be enough.

I’m broke so there isn’t anyone I can realistically punish economically.

My local politicos seem mostly, if not completely, on board with listening to the idea of not passing these crude laws.

Mostly, it just shows how uneducated our leaders are. And, oh, term limiting them and replacing them every election isn’t going to fix that.

Here is a Marketplace report on the incident. Give a listen to the Luddite a-holes backing this law.

It occurs to me that if today’s GOP were in charge a century ago, we’d never have been allowed to drive cars. The Luddites apparently hate progress in all forms, including light bulbs.

This, of course, after they are their corporate cronies helped destroy the Eastern European light bulb industry that was once capable of making long-lasting incandescent bulbs. Oops!
