[quote user="YoHo1975"] I did not say that at all and I will not be baited into a political argument on this forum.  I simply said that yes, those things would be progress and that progress costs money one way or the other. If you wish to add additional motive on top of that, I can't stop you, but it's not what I said.    <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Well, if all you were saying is that progress costs money, I certainly can’t disagree with that.  But you did say, “OTR truckers need to spend a lot of money to fix this.”  In view of your rebuttal to my comments, I guess you must have meant this: “OTR truckers would need to spend a lot of money to fix this if they want it fixed.”   <o:p></o:p> Sure all of this progress costs money, and spending the money is normally the prerogative of the business enterprise that would benefit from the progress.  But that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.  The topic here is using the force of law to compel a business to spend their own money on what somebody else wants in the name of the greater good.   <o:p></o:p> I am all for cleaning up pollution, but the cleaner you get, the higher the cost per each increment of improvement.  At some point, further improvement is not worth the cost unless you are able to use legal force to compel the expenditure.  In this case, ultimately the cost will come out of the pockets of Californians, so they will have to decide if it is worth it.  They have the option of moving out of the state if they think the cost of living is not worth it.
