It’s Friday. It’s Time for Nellie Bowles to Discuss Gas Stoves at TGIF
It's Friday, which means Nellie Bowles is writing things like this at TGIF, at Free Press:
I thought banning gas stoves was a conspiracy theory? Now, hold on. I was told just in January of this year that the gas stove ban was a fake right-wing culture war thing.
NYT: “No One Is Coming for Your Gas Stove Anytime Soonâ€
Time: “How Gas Stoves Became the Latest Right-Wing Cause in the Culture Warsâ€
Salon: “Rumors of a gas stove ban ignite a right-wing culture warâ€
MSNBC: “No, the woke mob is not coming for your gas stove.â€
AP News: “FACT FOCUS: Biden administration isn’t banning gas stovesâ€
The Washington Post: ​​“GOP thrusts gas stoves, Biden’s green agenda into the culture warsâ€
Which is why it’s so weird because just this week, New York state lawmakers banned gas stoves from all new construction. So it definitely does seem like Dems are coming for gas stoves, in that they just banned them in one of America’s most populous states.
There’s usually a slightly longer lag between when the mainstream press tells us something is a crazy lie and when the press says okay, fine, it’s not a lie, it’s actually true, and also it’s a good thing—so this is surprising. I’ll be over here huffing carbon oxides and vapors.
