Billionaires hate that it's Democratic, that it has a progressive income tax structure, so they constantly try to demean it, afraid that the people will demand the same structure nationally. That terrifies them. They don't want to pay taxes at the same rate as ordinary Americans.

    On a smaller 'vehicle' scale, California's ban on small gasoline engines, like riding lawn mowers below 25 horsepower, is beginning to hit home.
    My local Husqvarna / Toro dealer has NO riding mowers for sale. The commercial market will be limited to only buying very large units that are impractical for smaller jobs in the 1-2 acre range.
    To add insult to injury, this lack of product also slams the everyday homeowner who is unable at the moment to buy a decent riding lawn mower from either of those two manufacturers.
    The electric units that are currently on the market for this sector, like the Ryobi, simply fail in performance. Might work for some small sector of homeowners, but they are woefully inadequate for anything more than that.

    Solvable without batteries, but costly and inefficient. In the US, there used to be many miles of freight railroads using electric locomotives powered from overhead electric wires, similar to what is still used on many commuter railroads. *All* of these lines were converted from electric to diesel many years ago, due to the cost and labor involved in maintaining the overhead wire system. It also requires large power plants to supply the electricity to run the trains. Remember that there are mountains between California and the rest of the country, increasing the power needed to get over them.
