No shit, Sybil*. Your powers of reason are fascinating.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
Good one!
I assume the State of California determined:
1. These tools were made in Germany
2. Germans were once Nazis
3. Nazis were "Radical Right Wingers"
4. That makes them domestic terrorists
5. But calling a bunch of tools domestic terrorists is insane
6. So, they declared they caused cancer.
Good one!

I'm well aware of Ohms Law. Even the Italians knew about that when they designed my Fiat in the 1960'a. That's why it has a #2 battery cable to the starter on a 1.8L engine.
Mine is behind a single panel on the passenger side of the trunk. Kind of a pain to distort my back to get to it. Reset is by an OBD2 scanner with that function.

I like that we have a state that doesn't mess around with possible dangers. Dangers exist in our everyday lives and we often have to rely on government to warn us. The chemical industry has a kind of blanket protection because they went to school on what happened to the tobacco industry.
Fearful of crippling lawsuits, and having watched how the tobacco industry was crushed by public concern over dangers of their products, the chemical industry pulled some sneaky deals with Congress many decades ago to make sure there would be next to no oversight of what they do.
The result is that there is nothing like the FDA or TSA to oversee the chemical industry. Their products do not have to gain government approval, and they are completely free to police themselves and decide if a product represents too much of a danger to the public.
Most Americans have lots of modern chemicals in their bodies, absorbed from modern products, and from our environment because of industry. It is mostly unknown what the side effects of these chemicals are.
The USA does have an agency to try to keep up with some of this, but they have absolutely no power to control, a shoestring budget, and a woefully inadequate just 300 people to oversee all the chemicals Americans could be exposed to. It mostly focuses on toxic chemicals which Americans could be exposed to as a result of superfund sites, but also looks at a myriad of other products which could represent a danger to humans.

Americans get cancer at a higher rate than people in other countries. People in third world countries face a much lower risk from cancer, because they are not exposed to as many of the fancy modern products that Americans are.
It is common knowledge that just about everything in our lives can possibly give you cancer. People often joke about this, but nobody who has cancer does. Dying from cancer is not a fun way to go, and many American families live with such a loss.

"We are all exposed to a vast and dynamic cloud of microbes, chemicals and particulates that, if visible, might make us look something like Pig-Pen from Peanuts.
Using a re-engineered air-monitoring device, scientists from the Stanford University School of Medicine have peered into that plume and discovered a smorgasbord of biological and chemical minutia in, on and around us. Their findings show, in unprecedented detail, the variety of bacteria, viruses, chemicals, plant particulates, fungi, and even tiny microscopic animals that enter our personal space — a bombardment known as the human “exposome.”
“Human health is influenced by two things: your DNA and the environment,” said Michael Snyder, PhD, professor and chair of genetics at Stanford. “People have measured things like air pollution on a broad scale, but no one has really measured biological and chemical exposures at a personal level. No one really knows how vast the human exposome is or what kinds of things are in there.”
That curiosity — to see, for the first time, what a person’s exposure looks like at an individual level and how much it varies among people — was what motivated the study, Snyder said. But studying the exposome also provides an opportunity to clarify environmental influencers of human health that are otherwise obscure, he said. For example, rather than simply blaming pollen, those with seasonal allergies would be able to identify exactly what they’re allergic to by monitoring their exposome data and symptoms throughout the year.
The study’s findings also reveal information about geographic- and household-chemical spikes and weather-related patterns, and likewise show the wide range of chemical and biological particulates that can be found between individuals — even within a relatively small geographic region, such as the San Francisco Bay Area."

Indirectly they do. Pull your head out of your ass and think about the consequences of having an inadequate water supply in a state with a dry season that results in massive forest fires every fucking year.
Just because the fires are getting worse over time doesn't mean this problem hasn't been around for decades. Even when I was there in the early 80s, we often joked "California burns down in the summer and washes away in mud slides every winter."
They have water along with power rationing. Why? Because they have inadequate hydroelectric dams. It's not rocket science to look to next year to see what they might need....and they've been doing this for the past 40+ year.

Correct. OTOH, you and I are adults. It's growing children and pregnant mothers who have concerns just like mercury poisoning in tuna or lead paint chips.
Odd to see RWers not give a shit about unborn babies.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
That 'liberal paradise' hype is reinforced heavily from Right Wing Propaganda.
Those water shortage problems go way back to before California elected 'liberal' Reagan as governor.

Hello Jarod,
You couldn't pay me to live there. Way too crowded. Might have been good 60 years ago.
