jjThe tree pollen being thrown off is clearly having a hugely negative impact on human health right now, despite the Code Green from govco.

Why isn’t local government out chopping down trees? Or perhaps fining property owners for having too many flowering trees.

Crazy? Some 82-year-old retiree in Seattle was fined $850 by his local fascists for running his wood-burning stove during a locally declared “burn-ban” brought on by worries about air quality. And right this minute the city of Charlotte is still fretting over EPA guidelines on ozone and air quality that are patently impossible to meet absent Star Trek transporter tech.

It all seems so pointless and arbitrary — unless you understand that “air quality” regs have nothing at all to do with quality of life, but with levers of social control. Maybe we need a pollen permit trading scheme….
