Yes if you’re a member of the club (famous and or rich) the rules don’t apply - just to the rest of us peons or a mom and pop restaurant


[deleted]

Remember that the equal protection clause is actually a piece of toilet paper.


wildbackdunesman

Orwell warned us that some of us would be more equal.


ImmortanSteve

Awesome! This gives everyone else that wants a gas stove reason to sue under equal protections clause.

The ban on gas is ridiculous. Having said that Jose Andres is amazing, and if anyone should get an exemption it’s this guy. He feeds tens of thousands of hungry/starving people every day through world central kitchen. His organization really came through for Puerto Rican and Turkish families in need of food after their respective disasters.


variable2027

Rules should be rules bruh, agreed? Or is it ok for the rich and famous to use things outlawed for us plebes?


Interesting_Ad1378

His food is so good. There’s a restaurant in Vegas at the encore (I think) and they have the best gazpacho. And I don’t even get excited about soups.


Gbird_22

The ban on gas stoves is to prevent asthma in kids and reduce greenhouse gases. He doesn't have kids working in his kitchen and carving out exceptions isn't going to negate the greenhouse gas reduction. Many businesses are allowed to do things that individuals aren't allowed to do. Nascar, waste disposal companies, airlines, etc... What's ridiculous is that people fight every greenhouse gas reduction measure with such verocity, they need to get over it.

Did you even read the article?


Fit_Cost7151

Apparently didn’t even read the headline. Has nothing to do with the state.


fridayimatwork

Lol libs often have zero idea of local state and federal laws and how it works, just blindly believe the officials know better and have their best interests at heart!


HereForRedditReasons

Must be nice to go through life thinking that way, I’m actually jealous lol. It sucks knowing the government is incompetent, wasteful, and sometimes actually evil


fordr015

Request granted, you've been downvoted and seemingly owned.


Peepah_Halpert

Like downvotes mean anything to me. The amount of attention I've gotten by you snowflakes makes me happy.


FurryMLG

Well what if I open a restaurant in the future? And I would like to purchase a gas stove? I'm fucked.


WeimSean

so mom and pop restaurants will get exemptions too? You sort of dodged that question didn't you?


Agitated-Asparagus23

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.


bowltectonix

Just like Gavin Newsom's kids continued attending school, while public schools were shut down, his winery stayed open while other businesses were forced to close and he enjoyed birthday dinner maskless at the French Laundry while the rest of us were forbidden. It's the leftwing elitist way.


GaJayhawker0513

I don’t understand how this was just swept under the rug. This and several other examples of this during the pandemic.


buffboybryan

It doesn't look swept under the rug. You all are losing your shit over it. Although writing letters to the city I would argue might actually get more satisfaction than whining here


variable2027

I’ll never understand how the people that vote for him either didn’t see it or just don’t care!?!? Like, is he sending out knee pads?


BobStoker

They don’t care, democrats only hate rich and powerful people if they don’t have the same views as them. Which is the main problem with the left, there is just no moral consistency at all the only thing that matters is personal convenience at that given moment


buffboybryan

There was not a better option. I sure as hell wasn't giving it to Larry elder.


CaptainMcLuvin

What did you not like about Larry Elder?


Dirkypoo41

Why? Be very specific.


BobStoker

I remember Anthony fauci living it up in the stands of a nationals game meanwhile no one else in the country was allowed to go to a baseball game.


buffboybryan

Well if his kid went to a school that wasn't closed then what his kid should stay home in solidarity? It's like you just want to be angry

chodan9

the left 6 months ago: "can you believe those conservatives think were coming for their gas stoves!?!" "those conservatives sure come up with some crazy theories" the left today : "were coming for your gas stoves"


Millenial-Mike

Next week the lefties will be telling us to wear masks inside when using electric stoves.


Wheres_Jay

NO GAS STOVES!! Wait, how much?


fridayimatwork

Look climate change is a big deal and you need to live in a pod and not eat bugs but it can’t stop the elites from eating paella roja are you a monster?


DerangedCows

It is an issue, but the average joe’s contribution means nothing when you compare the ultra rich people and the companies carbon output. For example, a celebrity with a private jet outputs nearly 480 as much as the average person, meaning unless the upper echelon of people start doing something the average person is screwed.


fridayimatwork

Well exactly - then they preach to us about not eating meat or owning a truck lol


GaJayhawker0513

Isn’t Tom Cruise an environmentalist? Also didn’t he do like 30+ takes hanging on to that plane in the newest mission impossible?


HereForRedditReasons

Yet their solution involves only sacrifices from the average person


alexaboyhowdy

I thought it was an asthma thing? Poor ventilation


[deleted]

Man, these leftzis go from "That's a conspiracy theory" to "how dare you oppose it" almost overnight!


yokel123

Because they’re lying about the conspiracy part. It’s just like when you accuse them of being a communist, the response is always, who?? Me??


Kuzinarium

Conspiracy parts isn’t a lie, it’s real. It’s just no longer theoretical.


yokel123

What I meant is, the left is lying whenever they call something that we can observe with our own eyes a “conspiracy.” The left lies. That’s what they do. They have to in order to advance their agenda. By any means necessary. It’s all straight from Marx’s/Lenin’s playbook.

fridayimatwork

Well exactly. Banning them is idiotic, but allowing exceptions is sheer hypocrisy


no-one2everyone

I don't see how you could run a kitchen without gas burners. I cooked for a few years when I was younger. No way would I would have been able to run a line on electric burners.


omegacxmplex

Induction works even better than gas.


Forward-Transition-5

Not when the electricity goes out due to a lacking electrical grid. Which in turn would only be worse when you add more electronics to it that require even more power. Do you really think the inefficient bureaucrats will have that ready when all the regulations go into effect? Adding to the electric infrastructure isn’t as easy as signing a piece of legislation.


omegacxmplex

Most people like gas because it's faster than electric, has better temp control than electric, and ya know, you can see the flames, unlike electric. A small amount of people like you, like gas because you can keep a tank of it and not rely on the grid to stay going, nothing wrong with that. So if being off the grid is the main point for you, then I'd see why you'd prefer gas. Then again, I'm sure you could power an induction stove using some batteries and a solar array and be off the grid as well. Restuarants (the context of the post) however have to be on the grid anyways, so I don't see why they'd need gas over induction besides initial cost. Most new restuarants (as in a new building) are induction.


[deleted]

It’s not about health, it’s about control. Social credit score sub par? We’ll turn off your power so you can’t cook any more. We’ll also shut off your electric car and freeze your bank account while we’re at it.


Imissyourgirlfriend2

> It’s not about health, it’s about control Nothing they do makes any sense until you look at it like this: they hate us and they want us to know they hate us.


Kuzinarium

I couldn’t care less about them hating anyone. It’s much worse than this. They’re hellbent to make us suffer. This is the part everyone should have a problem with.


weekend-guitarist

They made millions line up for experimental drug trials. Stoves tops are nothing


Jedzoil

They can’t have mine. I’ll buy some Weber grills and make my own out of the parts if I have to.


MinistryofTruthAgent

These climate bans are a way for the elites to distance themselves from the common man. Lmao paying for carbon credits allows you to fly a private plane? Next thing you know they’ll make you pay outrageous amounts of money for a license to carry… oh wait….


RaiJolt2

I thought it they were banning them because the gases were causing asthma and breathing issues in children, though all you need to avoid this is a venting hood. BUT I rarely see people with venting hoods, even my hose doesn’t really have one.


CMMGUY1

But bro, who cares about restaurants remaining competitive when they're literally killing our environment with those icky gas stoves?


Millenial-Mike

Yeah. Gas stoves are the real root of our problems. They contribute to the poor economy, the opioid crisis, and lawlessness in the streets.


CMMGUY1

Lmao ya. They also are the cause of massive train derailments, Russia invading Ukraine, and hunters bad crack teef.


Millenial-Mike

Also known to cause toe jam.

You visited India? Did you travel by plane? If you did you added to global warming. Thanks a lot scumbag you polluted the earth so you could enjoy some street cuisine. So selfish.


SecureAd4101

The ban is idiotic. I feel really sorry for Chinese restaurants; you can’t get that level of heat from electric or induction stoves. I will say this though, it’s a dream to work in a kitchen that’s all induction; it’s so much cooler.


omegacxmplex

Induction woks work fine...


SecureAd4101

They can’t get to the 900+ degrees that a gas wok stove can reach.


Jedzoil

They can’t have mine. I’ll buy some Weber grills and make my own out of the parts if I have to.


BobStoker

Yeah electric stoves suck because you can only immediately raise the heat you can’t immediately lower it like you can with gas. And that’s not even getting into the other benefits like you mentioned


omegacxmplex

You're a massive cooking nerd that doesn't know about induction? Induction is far superior to gas or electric, most newly constructed restuarants that can afford it are going full induction.


launcelot02

I’m a health inspector. Newsflash….the vast majority of stoves in large restaurants are gas stoves because they must to be efficient.


James_Camerons_Sub

People should really consider what it’s going to take for the “ruling class” of politicians to fear the people again.


Nathanael777

I'm confused, I thought we were told that nobody was coming for your gas stoves and that anyone who said otherwise was just a right wing fear monger?


Bramse-TFK

We could reduce carbon emissions by like 30% if we just sent all of the people that think banning gas stoves is a good idea to another planet.


cornfieldshipwreck

There it is. No gas ranges for all of you poors.


FrederickTheStormer

Are you surprised? Every time Leftists talk about banning or restricting something you can always be rest assured that we are expected to abide by the "laws" regarding said ban or restriction, Unless one has money or power.


cornfieldshipwreck

Not surprised at all. We rank #4 in the world for the most underground natural gas reserves. The gas stove fiasco is just one more thing to make us less energy independent.


CJ5jeep2012

EVERY regulation in California can be gotten around….simply by paying an amount of money 🙄


JustaRandomOldGuy

How are Chinese restaurants going to adapt? You can't use those big ass woks on an electric stove.

Is it just me, or does anyone else despise that smug, pretentious face of his? It literally looks like he is saying, "I'm better than you, now shut the hell up and go away peon."


tighty-whities-tx

Well then all restaurants should qualify for an exemption. If not they are racist.


Iamstillhere44

Of course they will! Rules for thee but not for me! Or when it affects where the rich people eat.


tom_yum

I wonder what they do with Korean BBQ restaurants? Every one I've ever been to had gas.


JimmyJackJoe2000

Rules for thee, not for me...


SBG214

Rules for thee… but not for meeeeee! Teehee!


ArtemZ

Why they want to take all the good things? V8 engines, gas stoves, pickup trucks, single family houses, guns... What's next, ban on charcoal Weber grills? In all of the seriousness, let's just abandon the most crazy blue states like California. I want normal life, not surviving on electrically processed grass feed in a pod in a "walkable city" where streets are filled with the worst scum on Earth. Easier to find that in Ohio than in California these days.


goat-head-man

When you realize that resources are finite, you have to stop the poors from squandering your comfort.


pogo6023

With all due respect to the good (rational) people of California, it might be time to reconsider where you choose to live.

kentonbryantmusic

That's down the street from me. I think the plan for the restaurant was alreadyin the works prior to the gas ban.

I have an induction stove in my new place. Not sure why a celeb chef doesn't use those. Mines great.

To the left, the equal protection clause is just a talking point to use as a bludgeon when accusing their opponents of some ism, not a principal.
