Full Moon Shenanigans

From a reader:

"Don't you think you are out of line for what you said regarding the emission testing? It's sad for those people who lost their jobs and those who will soon lose theirs."

These people had over three and a half years head start. The legislation to eliminate emission testing in Tennessee passed in mid 2018. The program did not end until January 2022 (or February for Davidson County residents). Furthermore, the EPA made their ruling on August 17, 2021. This means there was 5 months head-start of knowing exactly when your job will be gone. 

This author has lost his job on more than one occasion. The typical situation is finding out today that today will be your last day. I wish I'd had months or years of advance notice!

Thankfully for them, these people are also entering the best job market in my lifetime. An ounce of effort should be greatly rewarded.

  1. I just plain don't like crooks, and emissions testing in TN was crooked from the start. It was never about "clean air", or anything else except money.
    Consider: if your 'check engine' light were on, they would automatically fail your vehicle, without sampling. On some cars (GM cars of the early aughts come to mind), just having the gas cap not tightened sufficiently would cause the check-engine light to come on. It was all about stealing money. Screw every one of those people, and their families as well.
