So Ron DeathSentance is now talking about gas stoves...

From: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3841563-desantis-keeps-heat-on-gas-stoves-issue-proposing-tax-exemption/
...(DeSantis) called for a permanent sales tax exemption for gas stoves....After a federal regulator floated the idea of a gas ban or regulations, Republicans embraced the gas stoves issue as part of a larger culture war narrative
...
Studies have found that gas stoves can contain hazardous air pollutants and have linked them to childhood asthma.


Which of course makes no sense. Ignore the issues regarding potentially giving children asthma...
- He's cutting the amount of money the Florida government receives, in a way that is likely regressive in nature. (i.e. tax breaks to potentially richer people)
- There are no plans to actually enact a ban on gas stoves. And even if there were, I doubt that a few extra MAGAchud in florida who decided to cook with gas would have made a difference
- Florida is not a major natural gas producer. (And I don't think they manufacture a lot of gas-burning stoves.) So its not like it would benefit Florida's economy. (On the other hand, electricity generated to power electric stoves can be produced in state.)

So rather than provide decent government policies, he continues to fight far-right "culture wars".
