Another example of how fucked up our government is.....

So we had an environmental fee, then it was taken off, now it's back on.

I've been buying a lot of paint, stain, and clear coat over the past month or so and I don't know how much I paid in these fees but it was quite a lot considering all except for 1 litre of stain was all water based and not harmful to the environment.

The local Homo Depot had a smallish 2 stage snowblower hanging around for about a month. last one. I went it and made a deal with the manager and paid for it.

On the way home I took a look at the receipt and whoop, no environmental fee. WTF? This thing had a crankcase full of over 3 qts of oil, took thousands of kwh to manufacture, had solvent based enamel paint all over it, plastics up the yin yang, Rubber wheels, grease, all sorts of toxic things.

One day someone ought to walk up to our leaders and smack them upside the head......

''Homo Depot'' that's a classic,lol.

Was it maybe because you made a deal with the manage he waived it?.

If you're a regular at HD, that makes you a Depot Homo.

The government just goes after the easy/obvious stuff. They don't know what they hell they are doing. My "wonderful" U.S. government is spending money on crap WAY more quickly than they'll ever take it in and are arguing about billion dollar budget cuts when the budget deficit is near a trillion. If I ran my life like that I'd have dozens of credit cards maxed out, a mortgage ten times larger than I can afford, a fleet of luxury cars and everything else I could think of...all while working a part time job! Then I'd have the nerve to bitch to my creditors and family about having to cut 1% from my fine dining budget!

They're all idiots who's only job it is to steal us working stiffs blind and keep themselves in power.

Then again you have companies like Sherwin Williams...most un "green" logo I could imagine!

Why are they shocked that they'd be targeted as anti environmental...I wouldn't know!
