It seems they've always had these high standards when it comes to "environmental issues". I remember taking orders for car parts and searching through the catalog I found that the catalytic converters required for cars there are more expensive and are supposed to be "better" than what is required in other states (if even).

however im sure california squanders the gas tax revenue on bullshit like infringing on personal freedoms and corrupt government contracts. Not where it actually needs to be spent.

Or enforcing bans on backyard cookouts or giving free syringes to heroin addicts.

Is that you saying that the same catalytic converters are being sold in CA for more money just simply because its California and people know they can get away with it? If so, that's sad.

I don't think giving out free syringes to heroin addicits is a bad thing though. I'd rather have them shoot up in a safe space, where medical volunteers (and hospital staff) are ready to help if need be rather then have someone die along in their apartment / house due to them overdosing alone. You can also use this opportunity to get people onto the right path, or try to.

I don't remember all the exact parts but basically only a small portion of the converters in our catalog can be sold to California residents. When I asked our manager he said the laws were tough there. And yes, they are more expensive than the other converters. Platinum something.

I don't agree with the shooting up in public part. If they wanna they should put those people in rehab, not let them shot up heroin in public and litter the streets with health hazards.

I mean these people aren't shooting up in public when you're going to a location. You're physically going to some sort of clinic, being given a syringe and a 'room' (could be a real room, or a small private area) then you shoot up your heroin, probably stay for a little while and then leave. This limits the amount of LETHAL overdoses (as there are medical staff trained there to help) and the amount of diseases that are spread through people using and reusing needles.
