<p>[quote user="YoHo1975"]</p> <p>They have the option of moving out of state? What a joke. </p> <p>"Just move" might be the most insulting argument on the internet. </p> <p> </p> <p>So, <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">presuming</span></strong> the initial implication has merit and those particulates do create the hazards specified, the question isn't a matter of restricting freedoms, its a question of who will pay how much. Because the money is going to get spent either way.</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well nobody wants to move, but it is an option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People do move to other states specifically because of high taxes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I don’t see why the idea should insult anyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My only point is that if it is a state issue, you can move to another state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it is a federal issue, however, moving to a different country is a much less reasonable option.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">You said this:</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">“If the particulates are actually affecting people as suggested then guess what, instead of the railroads, trucking and state paying to avoid the particulates, they will pay in medicaid costs, in medicare costs, in higher insurance premiums, in higher insurance payouts and for additional payments for those uninsured who would get free hospital treatment.”</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">What if the particulates are NOT actually affecting people as suggested, and what if this is just a power grab, using clean air as a pretext?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And what if they win the lawsuit and impose new costs on California citizens that are not actually needed to solve a real problem?</span></span></span></p>
